The issue of inmate separation based on vulnerability is a critical aspect of prison reform in Mexico. Vulnerable groups, including women, minors, and individuals with health issues, require special attention to ensure their safety and dignity within the penal system. Mexican legislation mandates protocols for the segregation of these inmates to protect them from violence and exploitation. However, the current conditions in many prisons, marked by overcrowding and inadequate resources, pose significant challenges. The lack of proper facilities and trained personnel often compromises the implementation of these protocols, negatively impacting the overall treatment of vulnerable populations in prisons.
