Morena Rial Remains in Magdalena Prison as Court Weighs Home-Detention Request

The court is assessing a bid for domiciliary arrest that proposes a friend's residence with electronic monitoring.

Overview

  • A close friend identified as Evelyn offered her home for domiciliary arrest and to act as tutor, with a decision expected in the coming days on electronic ankle monitoring.
  • Her lawyer said a psychiatrist who evaluated her concluded there is no condition requiring treatment, even as a penitentiary report he previously cited described self-destructive traits.
  • Rial remains detained at Unidad 51 after her earlier release was revoked over failures to comply with court-ordered therapy and stable employment requirements.
  • According to social posts reported by local media, her father provided supplies and helped facilitate a friend's visit to the facility.
  • Her Instagram account continues posting paid promotions through an assistant, and a handwritten note shared by her lawyer said she limits contact and prefers video calls with her son instead of in-person visits.
