The decree that authorizes and regulates the release, which is for 6 months, was signed on April 15, at a time when the coronavirus was beginning to spread through different prisons in the country.
The document establishes not only the procedure that will have to be met for this to be possible, but also what type of prisoners could be received and what would be the impediments that would exclude them.
