Argentina’s Church opens drug rehabilitation center in prison
The Catholic Church in Argentina opened a drug rehabilitation center inside a prison last month.
The facility aims to address addiction among inmates within the country's penal system. This development comes as parts of Latin American society call for stricter criminal penalties and fewer rights for prisoners, despite widespread issues in regional prisons such as overcrowding, hunger, and poor sanitation.
