In Chubut, Argentina, a legal dispute has emerged regarding the conditions and rights of inmates within the provincial prison system. A judge ordered the provincial government to include red meat in meals provided to inmates at the Provincial Penitentiary Institute (IPP) within 72 hours, following a collective habeas corpus filing aimed at improving nutritional quality. Governor Ignacio Torres has rejected the ruling, describing the decision as “crazy.” “locura” (madness). Torres criticized the judiciary for prioritizing the rights of offenders over victims, specifically targeting the doctrine what he termed “garantismo berreta” (shoddy legalism). He accused certain judges of “garantismo.” being ideologically driven and stated that his administration will not comply with the mandate to provide meat daily.
