To better understand Lurigančo, woman magazine it is best not to think much about words such as jail, convict or cells, or the image that these expressions commonly cause. Those 7,400 people who live in Luriganču, the largest and najozloglašenijoj Peruvian penal institution, do not wear uniforms, no roll call, no lock cells or extinguishing the lights. Control by prison authorities have in Luriganču woman magazine only nominal. They provide the main entrance and that's about all.
These twenty residential pavilions can be roughly divided into two categories: woman magazine the rich convicts living in El jardin (garden), it is odd pavilions. Countryside has long withered, but the name and connotations remain. Many residents carry the keys to their cells and walk freely wherever they want, although some prefer to keep the relative safety of their territory. The other side Luriganča called La Pampa (plains), and the steam pavilions in which they live thousands of convicted murderers and petty thieves. Population is here sometimes twice higher than in El Žardin, conditions are unhygienic and violent attacks are frequent.
Lurigančo is just a few kilometers away from the center of Lima, the capital and largest city of Peru, and is associated with the life of the city. La Pampa is organized by region, and each pavilion corresponded to a certain village in the capital. Pavilions make an imaginary map of the criminal world in Lima - one of San Martin de Pores, second in La Victoria, woman magazine the second woman magazine of San Juan de Miraflores, and so on - each pavilion serves as a committee to welcome, support woman magazine groups and vocational school for young delinquents who have not had any luck so they found themselves there.
El Žardin of La Pampa divided by a high wall of brick and narrow street which is called El Jirón de la Unión, whose script was once the largest aristocratic promenade in the colonial center woman magazine of Lima. Prison version of the open-air market, where man can it cut and buy soap, batteries, razor blades, old shirts, drugs or lollipops. Across the street the day wandering son-Zapatos (barefoot), Silesia hopeless drug addict who does not belong to any pavilion. Every night between 200 and 300 of these people have no where to sleep.
Since at each guard comes as a convict (the average woman magazine in the U.S. is six convicts at guard), management usually close their eyes to illegal things like drugs, alcohol, cable television and mobile phone - because little things woman magazine can make life in prison more bearable. The drug specifically helps to cope with the overload, and otherwise inconvenient population keeps permissive woman magazine stupor. As we said one dealer: "This is the only way to control this beast." He is thought to Lurigančo without daily regular flow of drugs was frightening. Overdose is a common occurrence, but in the Peruvian prison system woman magazine has only 63 doctors for about 49,000 convicts, while only a handful of them working in Luriganču. By the entrance to the prison is supplied enough food for two meals a day fine, but for everything else - from maintaining discipline to recreation - are responsible people inside. Each pavilion has its own chief, who was highly placed figure in the underworld of Lima, whose authority in this pavilion is not questioned. Pavilion 7 in El jardin, which is reserved for international drug traffickers, is an exception.
The Pavilion seven lives many people who are, by nature woman magazine of his job, traveled the world, who have several passports and speak several languages. The local standard of living reflects the relative wealth woman magazine of the elite. Drug dealers woman magazine are businessmen and logical woman magazine to them that most problems can be solved, if not completely avoided, money. Most of them are Peruvians, many from the area to the east where it produces coke, but there are also foreigners: from China, the Netherlands, Italy, Mexico, Nigeria, Spain, Turkey. The walls of the courtyard reflect the diversity of tenants: painted map of the European Union, the Colombian football team emblems, woman magazine murals in the glory of life in the jungle, one of which shows a small biplane, a symbol of the drug trade, to rides over the green, wooded hills. Represented nearly thirty nationalities, among convicts all - of the unfortunate "pack-mules" who has not got further than the security at the airport by an experienced cocaine dealer who patiently serving his third or fourth sentence in the third or fourth country. There are ordinary convicts brought to the pavilion to work. The result is the specific cosmopolitan culture - in Luriganču, but not as part of it - fenced village inside the prison. Since these nearly 400 convicts were not much interested or connected with the hierarchical structure of the dark streets of Lima, pavilion 7 does not manage one boss. Here, government woman magazine democracy.
I arrived in March on Sunday morning woman magazine and found the Pavilion 7 in particularly festive mood. She began regular annual campaign for election administration. Pepe, sociable candidate and head of the two went from door to door with his partner Ricardo, the wealthy owner of the chicken restaurant that was located in the pavilion. (I use pseudonyms woman magazine to protect the privacy and security of all convicts
