Because it operated “in total irregularity,” the State Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks (Coespris) yesterday suspended the operation of the rehabilitation center from which several inmates escaped on Monday after a fight between two people.
According to its state commissioner, Luis Carlos Tarín, during the review carried out in coordination with the State Commission for Attention to Addictions (Ceaadic) and the State Public Security Secretariat (SSPE), it was found that the space whose company name is Rehabilitation Program for Alcoholics and Drug Addicts Civil Association (Prada Asociación Civil) operated without notice of operation, without a health person in charge and did not have clinical records of its inmates. The facilities in the annex were also not adequate to accommodate men and women, since it did not have a separation of areas and only operated with one sanitary service, which represented a health risk. The official explained that they went to the space located at 1718 Gaviota Street in the Granjas de Chapultepec neighborhood, as a health authority to verify its operation, but after detecting the various irregularities, the suspension seal was placed on its door and it was given a period of five days to correct the observations made. He said that if after those five days each observation has not been regularized, the suspension measure will be maintained. The head of Coespris also assured that the reviews of this type of spaces will continue to verify that they comply with the essential regulations. Yesterday, staff at the annex did not give information to El Diario under the argument that they were being reviewed by state authorities, but it was reported that eight of the 28 inmates had already been returned to the space by their families and that other relatives had already been returned to the space. They had communicated to warn of the return of more. Those who fled the scene on Monday, October 7, were between 10 and 14 inmates, after a fight between two people with a knife. Yesterday El Diario announced that in 2016, the rehabilitation center was called “Third Tradition”, and José Alfredo Durán Acosta died inside, who was going through a withdrawal crisis, while he was cared for by two other inmates – one of them a minor–, who tied him up and beat him, for which one of them was sentenced in 2019 to eight years in prison for the crime of qualified homicide.
