Costa Rica Tightens Prison Rules for Inmates Facing Extradition

Costa Rica has implemented stricter prison protocols for inmates likely to face extradition, including banning physical contact during visits and mandating that officers wear body cameras when interacting with them. This measure, initiated by Justice and Peace Minister Gabriel Aguilar Vargas, aims to prevent potential attempts to influence or harm these detainees before their transfer. The change underscores the country's commitment to maintaining security and integrity within its prison system, especially concerning high-profile cases that could involve international legal proceedings.
