Attorney General Radhames Jimenez has wanted to dynamite the old prison at La Victoria for years. Now he has been joined in his fight by the leader of the Prison Pastoral Movement, priest ArIstedes JimEnez, who called the La Victoria prison a center of backwardness, violence and corruption. The Attorney General spoke at the ceremony where 40 former inmates received their certificates of post-prison /treatment at various Houses of the Redeemer throughout the country.
