David turned into Jail summer paradise
A huge plastic pool in the center of the courtyard known as the "kills" in the public jail of David, in the province of Chiriquí, figure through social networks, in different photographs, which appear to show prisoners as if in a summer paradise
The pool about family size is on the flag of the Mata where there are approximately 800 detainees for various crimes.
Before the publication of this huge social networking pool, this means trying to talk to the person in charge of the prison, a guard named Ortiz, since the center's director Ismael Flores remains on vacation; however it mentioned that he was not authorized to provide any information, so we contacted public relations Prison System, where the head of the department nationally Johany Guevara, reported that he is conducting investigations to know the income from it.
The photos circulating on the Facebook website has caught the attention of Chiriqui citizens who wonder how such items entering a detention center where revisions to the families of the detainees are rigorous.

More un-delightful news concerning the David jail. Almost impossible to believe. Wonder why the church is involved?
Detenidos en David entregan armas
Un centenar de armas blancas fueron entregadas ayer en la cárcel pública de David, por parte de reclusos de diferentes pandillas, como un paso voluntario para que cese el problema entre bandas en los centros penales.
Para el privado de libertad Omar Chanis Machuca, esta es una oportunidad para enviar un mensaje al Gobierno y a la comunidad entera de que ellos están en busca de un bienestar que los lleve a cambiar sus vidas y prepararse para aportar a la sociedad.
Durante el acto fueron entregados, cuchillos, platinas, hierros, lanzas fabricadas de barrotes, cuchillas automáticas, entre otros.
En el acto, la iglesia evangélica jugó un papel muy importante al ser intermediaria, así como personal de la Defensoría del Pueblo. También estuvo presente la Policía Nacional y un representante de la Gobernación de la provincia.
Por su parte, Francisco Mendizábal, representante de la Defensoría del Pueblo en Chiriquí, explicó que luego de varias semanas de un turbulento escenario se dio este cambio de actitud.
I certainly am, James.
Off your meds again Keith? It is a well known fact, that prisoners in Panama are able to get any favors they fancy for which they can afford to pay the officials - including the ones I've mentioned, and lord knows what others.
ah, she has inside information. Corresponding with Wild Bill again?
Is that really inside the jail? Are the faces all identified or is this just a play to aggravate the senses of those on the outside?
One might add that as long as they can enjoy life more on the inside then life would be better for us on the outside.
It was a bit facetious I'll admit, but the alternative would be they are on the outside with us.
Perhaps a pillory in the town square. Tomatoes, anyone?
