About This Trend

Punta Peuco is a maximum-security prison in Chile, originally built in 1995 under the government of President Eduardo Frei Ruiz-Tagle to house high-profile inmates, particularly those convicted of human rights violations during the Pinochet regime.

The prison is currently trending due to President Gabriel Boric's announcement to transform Punta Peuco into a regular prison, eliminating its special status. This decision has sparked widespread debate and public discussion about justice and prison reform in Chile.
