🔒 Punta Peuco Prison

Punta Peuco Prison, officially Centro de Detención Preventiva y Cumplimiento Penitenciario Especial Punta Peuco, is a prison located in the municipality of Tiltil, Santiago Metropolitan Region. Punta Peuco is a special facility specifically built in 1995 for individuals convicted by the Chilean judiciary of crimes against humanity and human rights abuses during the military dictatorship of Chile (1973–90). The judiciary uses the old criminal procedure system originated in 1906 for these cases, without the guarantees introduced with the reform carried out between 2000 and 2005.
