Bolivia: ICRC activities for persons deprived of their liberty

A major focus is on improving detention conditions through water, sanitation and liveability infrastructure works, or other ad hoc support. Over the years, several detention facilities have received this support for specific work. This has always been focused on supporting the most vulnerable people within the prison population of the prison in question, such as people with mental health problems and new admissions, among others. In recent years, several prisons have received this support, including the Chonchocoro, San Pedro and Miraflores prisons in La Paz, the El Abra and San Sebastián Mujeres prisons in Cochabamba, and Palmasola prison in Santa Cruz.
