Federal Correctional Complex of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires

The Federal Correctional Complex, known as Cárcel de Devoto, is a historic medium-security prison in Buenos Aires, built in 1927. It gained notoriety for a violent riot in 1978 that resulted in significant casualties. Although plans were made to relocate inmates to a new facility, as of 2020, Devoto remains operational, housing a majority of its original inmate population. The prison's history and its role in the Argentine penal system make it a point of interest for researchers and those curious about the country's criminal justice evolution.
