E/CN.4/1999/63/Add.2 page 22 Of the remainder, 159 were convicted and 64 accused. Politically, 251 were from Shining Path and 76 were from Tupac Amaru. They were housed in two-person cells and in “blocks” of 20 to 30 inmates. 114. The new section of the same prison housed 142 prisoners, of whom 2 were convicted of ordinary offences and they were the cooks - which was the only way to avoid suspicions or favouritism in the matter of food among the two groups of offenders. Of the remaining 140, 130 were convicted and 10 were awaiting trial; politically, 113 were from Shining Path and 29 from Tupac Amaru. As of this year, the prisoners have had up to one hour of “sunshine” and one weekly visit. 115. In Santa Monica Women's Prison for persons convicted of treason and terrorism, there were 285 inmates who, until October 1997, had had only half an hour daily in the prison yard and, since that date, have been subject to the following regime: (a) special maximum security: 116 prisoners, separated politically, with one hour in the yard per day and one hour-long visit per week speaking through a grille in the visiting room; they can only work in their cells; (b) “improved category”: 19 prisoners with the same regime of visits and yard exercise, but without separation for political reasons; (c) medium security: 84 prisoners, with two hours daily in the prison yard and two hours of visits without the visiting room grille; they can work outside their cells; (d) the 66 remaining inmates (minimum security) have an open regime of work, 4 hours a day in the yard and 4 hours of visits, and both adults and children can visit. The “repenters” are separated from the first group. 116. Yanamayo prison, a maximum security prison, is near Puno and houses 369 inmates, 33 of them women. The range of sentences is striking: 50 per cent (184, of whom 19 are women) are sentenced to life imprisonment, 150 others to a variety of very long sentences, and only 35 are awaiting trial. They are separated by party: 288 from Shining Path, 53 from Tupac Amaru, and 9 independents, plus 19 “felicianistas” (Shining Path dissidents who continue the armed struggle). 117. Castro Castro, a high-security prison, housed 395 common-law convicts considered dangerous (drug traffickers), separated from 995 “terrorists” subject to a different regime. Accused and convicted persons are not separated, which is contrary to the United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners. 118. Lurigancho was built for 1,800 prisoners, but today houses over 6,000, all for ordinary offences. The main complaint of the persons interviewed was the scarcity of work materials and the slowness of trials, which meant that 96.4 per cent of the prisoners were awaiting trial and only 3.6 per cent were convicted (among those imprisoned for terrorism, 68.8 per cent were awaiting trial and 31.2 per cent were convicted). They were informed of their rights and had a system for complaining to the authorities. They are entitled to one weekly visit.
