Paraguay's judicial system is criticized for imposing harsh sentences on the poor while being lenient with the powerful. Data show that 60% of prisoners are being processed without conviction, while figures like Dalia López and convicted former governors serve house arrest.

Paraguay's Ministry of Justice began Operation Umbral 2.5 this Sunday, transferring female inmates from various prisons to the Women's Prison Complex (Comple) in Emboscada. The operation, supported by the National Defense Council (CODENA), aims to centralize female incarceration. The National Mechanism for the Prevention of Torture (MNP) had previously reported serious human rights violations at Comple, including prolonged isolation and lack of mental health care.
