In recent months, the authorities had received numerous complaints about violence, threats and abuse inside the penitentiary.
The problem was that almost no victim would agree to speak.
They were afraid.
Vanessa did not act alone.
He had a few inmates who worked for her and, worse, there were suspicions that one of the guards was offering her protection in exchange for money received from the outside.
Ana had been sent to find out the truth.
“So… was it all a trap? Ask Vanessa.
“No,” replied Ana. No one forced you to come to my table. Nobody forced you to throw away my food. And no one forced you to get you on me.
Vanessa pali.
In the days I spent there, Ana had noticed everything.
Who was bringing Vanessa food.
Who was washing his clothes.
Who received threats.
And especially, which guard turned his head every time something happened.
But the most important part was to gain the trust of the victims.
At night, when the lights went out, some of the women started talking.
A little bit by little.
One had told how she had been beaten because she had refused to give Vanessa the money she received from the family.
Another said he had been threatened for months.
A third one had told the name of the guard who was helping her.
Ana had memorized everything.
That afternoon, Vanessa was moved to a separate area until the investigation was completed.
The guard involved has been suspended.
In the following weeks, several inmates agreed to testify.
But before she left the penitentiary, Ana asked for one thing.
Talk for a few minutes with the women in the precinct she had been infiltrated.
When she enters the room without the uniform of inmate, almost no one recognized her.
