Overview

• In a meeting with metropolitan mayors, interim President José Jerí told incarcerated criminals to "behave" or his government will overhaul controls across the penitentiary system.
• The administration’s Operativo Ciclón swept the Miguel Castro Castro, Huaral, Picsi and Huamancaca prisons, with INPE and GOES seizing cellphones, drugs and communications equipment.
• La Hora reported the raids were the second major prison intervention since Jerí took office, following searches last week at Ancón I, Lurigancho, El Milagro and Challapalca.
• Jerí said the security proposals raised by Lima’s mayors will inform the lineup of his incoming cabinet.
• San Martín de Porres mayor Hernán Sifuentes said a state of emergency was discussed and urged more officers, working logistics and investment in intelligence and technology, while Santa Rosa mayor George Robles pushed to quit the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and revive the death penalty.
