Peru deploys military personnel to conduct security screenings at four major prisons

The Peruvian government has authorized the Navy, Air Force, and Army to conduct security screenings for all individuals entering the Sarita Colonia, Ancón I, Lurigancho, and Challapalca prisons. This move represents an escalation in state efforts to control contraband and corruption within the penitentiary system, though the long-term impact on prison security remains to be seen.
