00:00We want to tell you that these prisoners who have a cell phone,
00:06who have obviously, given by the state, by the taxes that we all pay,
00:10a roof, a bed, food, obviously bathrooms where they can urinate,
00:16where they have television, they have other amenities,
00:20they also earn a salary.
00:22When they work, which is something that the Constitution has planned,
00:25they have a salary, Sabrina, they earn 296,832 pesos.
00:32How is this number composed?
00:34Because it really outrages us all,
00:36and we want to deepen it.
00:38What are we talking about when we talk about the salary of the prisoners?
00:41Well, we are considering the minimum and vital and mobile salary,
00:44and if you consider the amount of hours they work, it can go from 30 to 40.
00:47If we consider what is the minimum, vital and mobile salary that we are seeing today,
00:50the updated in Argentina at this time is 286,000 pesos.
00:53Then we divide this by the number of hours,
00:55and it will give us, depending on the number of hours they work,
00:57they will receive that salary.
00:58Obviously, under the law, all employees are considered in the same way,
01:02with which they access all other benefits,
01:04such as the benefits of the RTE, licenses and...
01:07Hiking, vacations.
01:09Exactly.
01:10Yes, what is interesting to know is what happens with that salary, right?
01:13If they can really afford that money or not.
01:15But I know that, I mean, adding to this issue,
01:19an account is deposited,
01:21this money is usually saved so that,
01:23supposedly, the day they are released...
01:25When they have a family.
01:27Now, what you are telling us, Avery, I want to stop you for a second.
01:31RTE, hiking, and vacations, do the prisoners get paid?
01:36Yes, the question we have is if...
01:37Vacations, I mean, they clearly don't take them,
01:39so they have to be paid.
01:40Or when you take your vacations at work, they liquidate them in some way.
01:43So it would be a vacation of not working, in that case.
01:45Of course.
01:46Let's say they don't work those days.
01:47Exactly, they have to liquidate them, let's say.
01:49But also, what do they work for?
01:50What is considered work within the prison?
01:53There are some assigned tasks that have to do with cleaning,
01:56with cooking, with necessary tasks to develop inside,
01:58but they could also have jobs with entities from outside or from the state.
02:02Look, the truth is that if one thinks about it and wants...
02:04Let's see, I want the prisoners to be looking at the ceiling,
02:08making TikTok videos while they are working.
02:10And no, I prefer that they are working.
02:12What is not understood is how a prisoner can charge
02:15more than a minimum pensioner, which is the majority of pensioners.
02:18That's where that figure makes a noise and it's a total injustice.
02:22But I also think that what has to do with maintaining the cleaning of the prison,
02:29of the pavilion, should be something mandatory.
02:32Well, it's not.
02:33Let's see.
02:34It's a job.
02:35It's precisely something that was raised at one point from the national government, right?
02:39And it was talked about as a slave job.
02:42But, well, one has to think too.
02:44They are prisoners, aren't they?
02:45What would they be doing if they weren't cleaning?
02:47Well, there was a defamation of human rights,
02:50where suddenly, I don't know, any kind of figure stigmatized,
02:54where demanding that they clean the place or that they work to finance themselves,
02:59to self-manage their time in prison was to violate human rights.
03:06I mean, we are in such an absurd moment
03:09where everything we showed you about cell phones,
03:12they don't take them away, not because it's not illegal,
03:14but because they are afraid of a riot.
03:16So they send the prisoners.
03:18What we have to take into account is a question,
03:20and now we are going to analyze a little how the money they pay the prisoners is divided
03:25and how they can use it.
03:27But the idea of the Constitution of the Spirit is that the prisoner works
03:31to become a better person than the one who entered, who cleaned.
03:36The objective is good.
03:37Why? Because if we only have them locked up and we throw them out on the street,
03:40worse, it's a crime factory.
03:43What happens in reality?
03:44The work in prison is designed for that, but it doesn't have that function.
03:48And if it is fulfilled, it will open with the issue of payment.
03:52That is fulfilled, that exists, they pay them,
03:54and there we have a plate that goes over a little how the money is divided,
03:57how the prisoners can manage it.
04:00And there we have on the screen how this salary is divided.
04:0310% will go to indemnify their victims,
04:0535% for food,
04:0725% for expenses to cause in prison.
04:10We know that this does not cover everything,
04:12because we have talked in this program how much it costs to keep the prisoners.
04:15No, 83,000 per day.
04:1783,000 pesos per day, average in the city of Buenos Aires.
04:20They are more than 2 million a month.
04:22Per prisoner.
04:23And he generates 236,000, let's say, 200,000 pesos.
04:26So it doesn't cover all the expenses.
04:28But they still make a little savings.
04:30They have a 30% savings.
04:32The 30% of everything they accumulate,
04:34imagine a sentence that lasts,
04:36in general, the people who are in prison,
04:38spend at least 2 or 3 years in prison,
04:40because if not, they are barely punishable.
04:42They take an important amount of money.
04:45We comment it because it is also outrageous to see the contrast
04:48between this money, Sabrina, and what a pensioner earns in Argentina.
04:52Yes, and I tell you more, what a policeman earns.
04:54Or the jail guard.
04:56The data of, let's say, the minimum position within the police
05:00and the security force, and you have 564,000 pesos per month.
05:04Yesterday they gave us the data that a person from the penitentiary
05:07earned 450,000 pesos.
05:10Imagine the madness.
05:11Of course, it is understood why they laugh so much,
05:13why they celebrate, why they celebrate.
05:15They are as they want, really.
05:17That is the truth.
05:18We have seen images of prisons in very bad condition,
05:22but it is not what we are seeing today,
05:24at least in these videos that they are showing on TikTok.
