El Manzano

El Manzano prison features multiple security levels, rehabilitation programs, and dedicated areas for vocational training to support inmate development and reform.

The facility gained national attention in 2010 when inmates attempted to escape during the aftermath of a major earthquake, resulting in fires and military intervention.

The prison organizes regular craft workshops where inmates create products that are sold to support various social initiatives within the correctional system.

Visitors need to present valid identification documents and undergo security checks before entering the facility during designated visiting hours from Monday to Friday.

Guards discovered a seven-meter-long tunnel in 2005, constructed by inmates using basic tools and demonstrating the ongoing security challenges at the facility.
