Barbadillo Prison (Spanish: Penal de Barbadillo) is a prison facility located in Lima, Peru administered by the National Penitentiary Institute. Known as the "presidential prison" for being the place of detention of the former presidents, it has hosted former presidents Alberto Fujimori and Ollanta Humala. Currently imprisoned at the facility are former presidents Alejandro Toledo, Pedro Castillo, and Ollanta Humala.[1][2][3]
The prison was opened after Alberto Fujimori's extradition from Chile to Peru. It was originally conceived as a temporary space whilst an establishment would be built for him; however, it was decided that he would remain on site during the government of Alan García. Alberto Fujimori remained there, originally to face trial and then to serve his sentence. In 2019 it was determined that Fujimori would remain in Barbadillo prison after Peruvian Supreme Court annulled a pardon granted to him on 3 October, 2018.[4]
Location
The prison is located on the grounds of a police academy for the Directorate of Special Operations (Diroes), in Ate district.[5]
