The Vale de Judeus Prison will receive two new surveillance towers, as announced by the Ministry of Justice. Construction is expected to begin this month, representing an upgrade to the prison complex's security infrastructure.
The Ministry of Justice revealed that the new towers are part of a plan to strengthen security at the prison. This measure comes in a context of concern about the surveillance and containment conditions at the facility.
A prison sector union commented on the situation, stating that two years after the escape of five inmates from Vale de Judeus, everything remains the same. This declaration suggests that, from the workers' perspective, the security conditions have not undergone significant changes since that incident.
The escape involving five inmates occurred two years ago and continues to be a reference point in discussions about the facility's security, with the union criticizing the slowness of improvements implemented since then.
