Colombian prison system reform and security incidents

Overview

The National Penitentiary and Prison Institute (Inpec) has implemented significant changes to inmate management and facility usage in Colombia.

Following a period of instability, including the assassination of Inpec official Wilber Ferney Martínez Sana in Itagüí, authorities investigated potential retaliation linked to the mass transfer of high-profile inmates from the La Paz maximum-security prison. These inmates included alleged members of criminal organizations such as ‘La Oficina de Envigado’.

In a subsequent move to tighten control, Inpec ended the practice of housing VIP inmates in military and police facilities, such as the Police Higher Studies Center (Cespo). This policy shift resulted in the relocation of several high-profile individuals, including former House of Representatives President Andrés Calle and former DAS deputy director Emiro Rojas Granados, to La Picota prison.
