Morena Rial Still Jailed in Magdalena as Lawyer Details Anxiety Coping and Family Support

Her attorney says denied legal relief fueled frustration, with constant ice consumption used to self‑soothe.

Overview

  • Rial remains in custody at the Unidad Penal de Magdalena with no approved change to her custodial regime since her late September detention.
  • Her lawyer attributes her distress to expectations of house arrest and a favorable appellate outcome that did not materialize.
  • He describes an OCD‑like reliance on ice to manage anxiety and says her father, Jorge Rial, provided a refrigerator during a visit.
  • Inside the prison, she carries out record‑keeping tasks for detainees’ files, which the defense says helps her stay occupied.
  • The defense reports renewed family contact, including communication with Facundo, denies pregnancy rumors as stress‑related, and criticizes the court’s handling as inconsistent with equal treatment.
