The Federal Penitentiary Service of Argentina has relocated 1,400 detainees from the Villa Devoto prison to the Federal Penitentiary Complex VIII in Marcos Paz. This transfer accounts for approximately 93% of the facility's 1,500-person inmate population, effectively leaving the prison nearly empty.
The mass relocation of inmates was conducted in anticipation of a scheduled visit to the facility by Pope Leo XVI. The operation results in the near-total evacuation of the Villa Devoto site.
