Venezuela prison watchdog: inmates, families charged up to $100 for jail repairs

Venezuelan NGO Observatorio Venezolano de Prisiones (OVP) reports that prisoners and their families are being charged up to $100 for prison repairs, adding to existing costs for water, food, and basic items. This compounds the economic burden on low-income households amid Venezuela's ongoing crisis. The claim is sourced from OVP via El Nacional; independent verification is pending.
