Some Effects Of Extreme Overcrowding In Peruvian Prisons*

Fred Zampa

Macon College

This paper is the result of study of men's and women's prisons conducted throughout Peru during the summer of 1989. Due to political upheaval, increased drug law enforcement, and bureaucratic inflexibility, overcrowding in several Peruvian prisons greatly surpasses the crowding in U.S. prisons. In Peru, prison overcrowding has led to the abandonment of goals for imprisonment, increased stress on staff members, and a lack of prison security. The Peruvian experience thus provides several lessons for prison systems in the United States.
