On the afternoon of October 3, three prisoners who were housed in Penal Unit No. 54 of Florencio Varela, belonging to the Buenos Aires Penitentiary Service (SPB), escaped – around 7 p.m. – after breaking the perimeter fence with pliers. The inmates, identified as Carlos Quiroga, Matías Gómez and Kevin Cabrera, all had a history of aggravated robbery, as confirmed by judicial sources to Infobae.

The prison and Justice authorities of the Province of Buenos Aires are investigating whether there was complicity on the part of the prison guards. In addition, they analyze the security conditions of the prison unit itself, a prison located at kilometer 15.5 of Provincial Route Nº53 and inaugurated in 2009.

According to the sources consulted by this medium, the sector of Unit 54 from which the prisoners escaped is under a semi-open regime for prisoners who are close to being released or obtaining parole. They are inmates who are detained in a system known as “house-to-jail,” since they are held in small homes that are located outside the perimeter of the prison but within the premises. “They were close to being released due to the progressive sentencing regime, the decision to confine them there is up to the judges,” said the source.

Likewise, he explained that as an inmate progresses in serving his sentence, the regime becomes “more lax.” The purpose of the sentence – he said – is the resocialization of the offender, for which he has temporary releases and shares the houses with about seven inmates. “They are little houses that have two bedrooms, a bathroom, a kitchen, a dining room, one next to the other and located about 20 or 30 meters from the street, always within the premises of the Prison Unit, obviously,” he clarified. .

The incident was investigated by the Functional Instruction Unit No. 9 of Florencio Varela, headed by Cristian Granados.
