Andreína Baduel, spokesperson for Clippve, denounced violent crackdowns at El Rodeo I prison on July 5-6 by GRIC, including pepper spray, beatings, and threats with firearms.
Prisoners were left in cells during the earthquakes, with no evacuation protocol for nearly an hour; they were then kept in patios until early morning.
A person posing as an engineer reportedly said he had no choice but to declare the prison structure habitable, despite concerns.
At Ramo Verde, prisoners were evacuated to a camp in the courtyard after structural damage, but a new directive threatened to transfer them if they did not return to their cells.

What would change the assessment
- If an independent technical evaluation of El Rodeo I or Ramo Verde is published within 90 days, contradicting the claim of no independent assessments. (within 90 days — Ministry of Penitentiary Services or independent engineering reports)
- If the number of political prisoners reported by Foro Penal changes significantly (e.g., drops below 300) within 90 days, contradicting the claim of 382. (within 90 days — Foro Penal monthly reports)
