Aragua Penitentiary Center, Prison compound in Tocorón, Venezuela.
The Aragua Penitentiary Center is a large compound in Tocorón comprising multiple buildings and divided sections designed to house a substantial inmate population. The complex includes various structures built over different periods to manage its operational needs.
The facility was established in 1982 to house a specific inmate capacity. Over the following decades, severe overcrowding transformed its operational structure and created pressure on its management systems.
The prison facility developed into an unauthorized social structure with internal commerce systems and defined hierarchies among the inmate population.
This facility is not open to visitors and remains a restricted security area. Access to the grounds is limited to authorized personnel only.
Over the years, the compound was informally expanded to include recreational facilities, a swimming area, and other structures not in the original design. These unauthorized additions reveal how the site evolved beyond its planned purposes.
