Neighbors living near Renovación 1 and Granja Canada prisons in Escuintla express fear after the transfer of ringleaders from Barrio 18 and Mara Salvatrucha. They fear possible attacks in their communities and face another difficulty: cell signal blocking, which leaves them incommunicado in case of emergencies and complicates the students’ virtual classes. They ask the authorities to limit the signal restriction exclusively to prison centers.
