On February 23, at least 79 people were killed in coordinated clashes between rival gangs in four penitentiaries across Ecuador. It was the worst prison massacre in the country’s history. The victims had been deemed among the most dangerous people in society. Yet given that Latin America’s socially, economically, and racially marginalized communities are far more likely to be incarcerated, they were also among the most vulnerable.
At the same time, the Covid-19 pandemic has taken a disproportionate toll in prisons. In the United States, one in five incarcerated people tested positive for Covid-19 four times the rate of the wider U.S. population. The dimensions of this injustice in Latin America, where many prisons are chronically overcrowded and unsanitary, remains untold. Advocates warned in the pandemic that these conditions would be petri dishes for deadly outbreaks.
