Honduras Congress weighs maximum-security prison in Santa Bárbara

Honduran National Party deputy Kilvett Bertrand confirmed Congress is considering building a maximum-security prison on a state-owned plot larger than 100 manzanas in Naco, Santa Bárbara. The proposal is at an early legislative stage; no funding or timeline has been announced. If built, it would expand Honduras's high-security detention capacity amid ongoing gang-related violence.
