Guatemala is procuring materials to adapt its prisons following the implementation of new regulations regarding visits from minors. These new dispositions mandate the creation of specially designated areas for child visitation within the prison system. Prospective visits will require prior authorization, and biometric controls will be implemented to manage entry for minors. The changes aim to improve security and oversight during these visits. Authorities have not specified which prisons will be prioritized for these modifications, or the specific budget allocated for the project. The move reflects a broader effort to align prison practices with child welfare standards in Guatemala. These measures are expected to be fully operational in the coming months.
