Mexican ex-governor Javier Duarte is being held in the military barracks San Rafael de Matamoros, located in Zone 1 of Guatemala City, where he has three meals a day, a concrete bed as a bed, and private accommodation, but this is not the reality of the rest of prisoners whose situation is much worse. Their relatives have expressed their disagreement with the special treatment that seems to have been given to the Mexican politician.

The more than 21,000 inmates in Guatemala‘s prisons are less concerned about finding place to sleep, or food that is not just eggs and beans, and more concerned with their basic security because often their lives are more at risk in jail than on the streets.

“Matamoros”, as it is called in Guatemala due to the aforementioned military barracks, is under the control of military personnel, surrounded by monitors and constant vigilance of both the army and the national police. In order to obtain access to Javier Duarte, permits are required from senior officials at the facility.

In Mexico, it is believed that the ex-official is going through difficult times in the Guatemalan penal center, however, the press of the Central American country reflects another reality by noting that Matamoros “is a VIP jail, for which it has come under criticism. There are only those who have money or can pay for good treatment,” says Jerson Ramos, a journalist from Prensa Libre, one of the most influential media outlets in Guatemala.

In Guatemala, the arrest of Javier Duarte has caused outrage as Guatemalan citizens have learned about the criminal acts he committed during his administration in the state of Veracruz.

Ramos says that:

“First Guatemalan society was removed from the situation, they seemed not to pay attention, but when it became known that he was corrupt and that had caused a lot of damage to the Mexican people with his actions, people began to get angry and to be more interested in the case, because it’s the same thing that is happening here.”
