The Chorrillos Women's Penitentiary Annex (Spanish: Establecimiento Penitenciario Anexo Mujeres de Chorrillos), formerly known as Santa Mónica Prison (Spanish: Penal Santa Mónica),[1] is a high-security women's prison in Chorrillos, Lima, Peru.

History

The building started operating on April 5, 1992, receiving female inmates from Cantogrande Prison [es] that had been imprisoned on terrorism charges during the armed conflict. At the time of its opening, it was operated by the National Police.

In 1997, the prison was intervened by the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE) through Supreme Decree No. 005-96, which also reorganised the inmates' classification.[2] A resolution published on July 17, 2006, transferred control of the prison to INPE.

Despite the prison's capacity for 450 inmates, it suffered from overcrowding.[3] It had a total of 1038 inmates in 2012, of which 175 were moved to Virgen de Fátima Prison on March 9 to prevent overcrowding.[4]
