Latin American prisons have long been sites of abuse, corruption, and, in some cases, centers of criminal operations. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed many of the pathologies of prison systems in countries across the region, and at some cases, it has triggered incipient reforms.

Presented in collaboration with Weatherhead Center for International Affairs
