Minister López pointed out that “as a Government we are focused on strengthening our penitentiary policy and together with these infrastructure announcements, such as the concession of the new Talca prison facility, we continue to contribute to security in the region and the country. The prison will be concessioned to provide a better security service and better prison conditions by having more space for the prison population, as well as having services to support social reintegration, health and food. We know that security is a priority, that is why we are committed to the plan to build high-standard prison infrastructure.”

Likewise, the concession includes the maintenance and conservation of the infrastructure and the provision of penitentiary services, such as support for social reintegration, health, food, among others.
