Abstract

The image contains news about the Prison Visit procedure, where the Fiscal Visitor carried out an exhaustive inspection in the establishment of the 1. Section of the prison. After examining in detail the works carried out from October 1858 to the date of the visit, the construction of 8,404 meters of paved road on the important communication route that connects the capital of the Confederation with the city of Honda stood out, including the construction of 14 stone bridges and 12 wooden bridges, as well as the formation of pipes and drains. In addition, the discipline, morality and order observed in the prison were highlighted, as well as the medical and food care provided to the inmates. Additional needs were identified, such as the acquisition of means of transportation and tools, as well as the installation of a forge to improve efficiency and economy in the execution of the work.
