Cárcel de Cómbita, Maximum security prison in Cómbita, Colombia.
The prison spans multiple security levels with three rings of protection managed by the National Guard, Army, and Police forces throughout the compound.
The facility opened in 2002 and received a 67 billion Colombian peso expansion in 2016 to construct additional pavilions and dining facilities.
The prison architecture follows design principles from United States supermax facilities, built under guidance from the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
