Ecuador Transfers 106 Inmates to Guayas Prison to Disrupt Organized Crime

Ecuador's prison authority (SNAI) moved 106 inmates to Guayas Regional Prison No. 4 as part of a strategy to weaken organized crime networks inside the penitentiary system. The move follows a pattern of prison transfers aimed at reducing gang influence, though its effectiveness remains uncertain. This is a routine but notable step in Ecuador's ongoing effort to control prison violence.
