 - Published: Friday, February 14, 2020 - By the A.M. Costa Rica staff The government, through the Ministry of Justice, announced Thursday, the investment of $925,260 to build four new modules or areas and improve the infrastructure of the prison Luis Paulino Mora in Alajuela. According to the ministry, the improvements will help accommodate 256 prisoners, 64 for each module or area. In addition, improvements are planned in other areas to increase jail capacity by 600 rooms. These improvements are a response to orders of the Constitutional Chamber court, the Ministry of Health and judges, who requested that better space conditions be made for prisoners. According to the ministry, of the goal of building 3,000 new rooms during this government, 2,051 have already been built. "This year another 2,214 rooms will be built, with which the goal will be exceeded," the ministry said in its statement. In these new areas, the fourth house will have two toilets, two showers and an area for prisoners with disabilities. It is planned that they can be used in May. According to the ministry, the new rooms comply with the international regulations of the Red Cross, which establishes a minimum space of 2.71 square meters per prisoner.  In January the ministry announced that the construction of new modules or rooms within the current prisons had reduced the overcrowding rate 8.8% between November 2019 and January 2020. The rate went from 39.6% to 30.8%. According to the ministry, this reduction is due to the construction of 2,051 modules, or rooms in the prisons of Alajuela, San José, Limón, Guanacaste, Puntarenas and Heredia. "The reduction is important if you take into account that between May 2018 and December 2019 the prison population grew by almost 2,000 people: 13%," said the ministry in its statement. "Currently, more than 16,000 people are jailed." According to the ministry, three buildings to house women prisoners are planned in Pococí, Pérez Zeledón and Puntarenas. More modules also are planned for the prisons of San Carlos, Liberia and Puntarenas. The ministry officials are now in the analysis of a plan requesting an $80 million loan from the Central American Bank for Economic Integration to build a new prison in San Ramón in Alajuela with a capacity for 1,100 prisoners. Part of the loans would be used for the construction of more modules in the prisons of Liberia and Limón, according to the ministry. ------------------------- Should authorities invest to build more jails?
