Ecuador plans to pardon and commute thousands of sentences in order to free up space in the country's prisons following a deadly riot at a penitentiary in the coastal city of Guayaquil this week.
The Director of Ecuador's prison agency SNAI, Bolivar Garzon, said on Friday that up to 2,000 inmates, including elderly people, women and those with disabilities and terminal illnesses, would be prioritized on the pardon list for release and foreign nationals will be deported. "At the moment, 82 cases are being processed," Garzon said, adding that the SNAI would hand foreigners over to the Ecuadorian government to oversee their repatriation.
Ecuador's President Guillermo Lasso said in a televised address on Wednesday that the prison was not yet entirely secured, and urged inmates' relatives and families to stay away from the area.Over 100 killed in bloody Ecuador prison massacre"I wish I was able right now to say that yes, we have completely secured the Litoral Penitentiary, but frankly I cannot.
