Relatives of La Planta prison inmates were prohibited to talk with the media because, according to Minister of Penitentiary Services Iris Varela, any contact with the press undermines efforts to transfer inmates to other jails and their likely release under procedural benefits.
A police and military cordon was set up on Thursday morning about 550 yards from La Planta prison, located in El Paraíso neighborhood, southwest Caracas.
National Guard troops and National Bolivarian Police officers prevented the media from getting near the prison, southwest Caracas.
Meanwhile, the wives, sisters and mothers of prisoners stand in line to be informed by Venezuelan authorities about the fate of their relatives.
