Chihuahua state security and judicial developments

Overview

The Chihuahua state government has undertaken several initiatives regarding public safety and the judicial system. The State Secretariat of Public Security (SSPE) has focused on improving the penitentiary system through increased oversight and certification efforts. This includes preparing the Cereso No. 4 facility in Hidalgo del Parral for an audit by the Correctional Association to obtain international certification, as well as conducting security reviews at Cereso No. 2 in Chihuahua City.

Simultaneously, the State Attorney General's Office has secured major prison sentences in Ciudad Juárez related to kidnapping cases. These cases involved the abduction of migrants and individuals attempting to cross into the United States, resulting in combined sentences totaling hundreds of years for the perpetrators.
