La Joya prison in Panama was infamous for heavy overcrowding, makeshift cells and limited medical attention. Working with the Panamanan government, the International Committee of the Red Cross and the detainees have worked together to create humane conditions of detention.

The ICRC aims to secure humane treatment and conditions of detention for all detainees, regardless of the reasons for their arrest and detention. We also seek to alleviate the suffering of their families by restoring communication between detainees and loved ones. To find out more about this work: https://bit.ly/2Ok3rlI
