The Peruvian government has announced the implementation of military checkpoints to reinforce control of access to penitentiary facilities. The Minister of Defense, Rafael Belaunde, stated that the measure aims to prevent the entry of cell phones, chips, weapons, and drugs into prisons. The plan initially contemplates the intervention of five penitentiary facilities, with Ancón 1 and Piedras Gordas being the first to implement the controls. The checkpoints will have personal and package scanning systems, metal detectors, and permanent surveillance to ensure that cell phone signal jammers are operational 24 hours a day.
