The work of the Federal Penitentiary Center of the Argentine Coast located in Coronda, San Jerónimo department, will resume next Monday, May 13.
This news emerged this Tuesday from representatives of the Uocra since several of the workers who had been laid off last March 6 were summoned again for which before restarting the final part of the tasks they must carry out the required medical examination. In principle, there are between 7 and 10 construction workers who must appear at the work of the Coronda Federal Prison, on Camino de las Moras, 1000 meters west of the Highway.
The good news was communicated by the construction manager, Eng. Mariano Day, who had been the one who had had to inform the workers about their layoff.
Let us remember that the work had been paralyzed due to non-payment of an important part of the progress of the work to the Transitory Union of Insa-Ocsa Companies by the national government, but when this was corrected, Monday was set in principle as the return to work. the tasks.
It is also worth noting that on April 26, the Undersecretary of Criminal Affairs of the Nation, Julián Curi, had mentioned in an interview that “I can tell you within the predictability that there may be in Argentina, that I could almost affirm that in very few In more days work will begin again in the unit, work is returning at a significant pace. Some payments must be made and soon we will be bringing very good news to the province of Santa Fe.”
Construction began in 2016, it is approximately 90 to 93% complete, and very few details of the building are missing but the entire security system must be activated, both alarms, cameras and enclosures.
In the Municipality of Coronda they have not yet received official confirmation but local officials welcome the reactivation.
Finally, it is worth remembering that since the beginning of the provincial administration, both Governor Maximiliano Pullaro, the Vice Governor, Gisela Scaglia, and the Minister of Justice and Security Dr. Pablo Cococcioni had even asked the Nation for the temporary transfer of the work to finish it. as soon as possible, something that was denied by the Nation.
The request of the Santa Fe government was based on being able to have some 1,000 inmates there with federal cases, despite the fact that the ideal capacity will be 462 places. This would decompress the provincial prisons, especially Piñero and Coronda, and in turn would allow the police stations to be emptied where there should be no prisoners.
