The Briefing

• Peruvian President Keiko Fujimori visited El Salvador's CECOT maximum-security mega-prison on October 29, met with President Nayib Bukele, and signed bilateral cooperation agreements on security, prison management, health, and tourism.
• Upon returning home, Fujimori ordered a comprehensive restructuring of Peru's prison system, including the reclassification of inmates by risk level and new restrictions on high-risk prisoners' communications with the outside world.
• The reforms target a system holding more than 104,000 inmates across 69 prisons designed for roughly 41,700 — and come alongside a government pledge to build two new maximum-security facilities, one modeled directly on the CECOT.
