Anexo Penitenciario Capitán Yáber

The Capitán Yáber prison annex contains cells measuring four square meters with artificial lighting and accommodates up to two inmates per cell.

The facility opened in 1950 as a detention center for intoxicated individuals before transforming into a prison for financial crime offenders.

The prison represents a shift in Chilean justice system, focusing on separate facilities for non-violent financial offenders rather than mixing all types of inmates.

The institution maintains one shared bathroom, a television room, a small library, and two visiting areas for the maximum capacity of fifteen inmates.

Former inmates include politicians, business leaders, and professionals involved in major Chilean financial scandals, including the 2015 Penta case.
