The new jail  routine for Martinelli’s sons

According to the lawyers of Luis and Ricardo Martinelli Linares, their conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn are “inhumane”, locked up for up to 22 hours a day, and spending several days before taking a bath. But things will improve now that they have been sentenced since they will be transferred to a low-security male detention center in Allenwood, Pennsylvania reports  La Prensa. Currently, it houses 1,018 adult detainees, spread over a field with several housing units; It is a kind of residential complex. Everything seems quite peaceful there: they will start their days at 5:00 am; breakfast will be ready from 6:00 a.m., and they must have their beds made by 7:30 a.m.

 Monday through Friday, lunch is served from 10:45 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and dinner starts at 4:00 pm, with options low in sugar, fat, and sodium, as in all American prisons.

On weekends and holidays, there is brunch. From 7:15 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., inmates perform some work in the prison (based on their experience, education, and skills) and are paid between $0.23 and $1.35 per hour, which is deposited in a trust fund or can be used them at the commissary, up to a maximum of $320 per month. There are also hours for the gym, religious services, psychologist, educational and drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs, barbershop, and pottery, painting, or music classes, among other amenities.

In Allenwood, each detainee has permission to speak on the phone for up to 300 minutes a month, all communications may be recorded – except those with their lawyers – and they may not deal with business issues, threats, extortion or any other matter. of the law, which will probably make it difficult for the list of their future interlocutors -no more than 30- to include the close relative who, according to themselves, encouraged them to commit crimes.

Something similar will happen with electronic communications. They will not be able to exchange messages with victims, witnesses, agents, and “any other person linked to their criminal history.” The correspondence will be inspected and that which threatens the security and order in the prison, or is related to personal business and illicit activities, will not be delivered to them and could lead to criminal charges.
