Listin Diario reported on Sunday, 18 June 2017 of the privileges granted at the Najayo Model Jail to the government officials in pre-trial detention. The rules of the Najayo Model Jail are that all inmates are treated equal.
However, the reality is much different. Listin Diario reports an exclusive entrance has been prepared for the visits to the Odebrecht-related arrested men, so they do not have to be subjected to the long lines and search procedures normal people have to undergo. Those accused of the Odebrecht bribes — Temístocles Montás, César Sánchez, Ángel Rondón, Víctor Díaz Rúa, Ruddy González, Andrés Bautista, Conrado Pittaluga y Máximo De Oleo — are using the entrance for the jail staff.
There is no restriction on color of clothing for those entering to see these prisoners. At the usual entrance, anyone with a green shirt will be turned back because it is the color used in the inmate uniforms.
Listin Diario also mentions that the only day when children can visit is on Saturday, but there has been flexibility with that rule for the Odebrecht arrest.
In a late development on Sunday, 18 June 2017, one of the inmates, Cesar Sanchez left the jail to be hospitalized.
