29 c) Testimony of Teresa Alcaraz de Mencia, official with the Ministry of Education and Culture. The witness served as a supervisor from 1998 to 2001, in the area where Youth and Adult Education Center No. 118 was located, which served the ‘Panchito López’ Juvenile Reeducation Institute. The Youth and Adult Education Center was in continuous operation from July 1993 to July 2001. Center No. 118 started out with three teachers and eventually had seven. The program it offered was basic schooling, including the three cycles from the first to the sixth grades. It also offered vocational training to become a plumber, chef, hairdresser and electrician. The classes had special schedules, from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. There were 150 students enrolled; of those, 110 finished the sixth grade, thereby completing the basic education cycle. The inmates also had computer courses. Brother Michael Sean O’Loingsigh requested that more cycles be opened up given the excessive number of students. d) Testimony of Teresa de Jesús Almirón Fernández, psychologist The witness is a clinical psychologist for emergency cases, for crisis control and terminal patients.

She also did follow-up on the inmates that needed plastic surgery or any other more specific treatment. Some inmates had inhaled large amounts of smoke and were therefore treated at the Max Boettner Hospital. She followed their progress by keeping in contact with them by telephone. Most of the inmates have gotten their lives back on track; some, however, have returned to committing crime. The witness has provided advisory services at, among other places, the Itauguá Education Center and at Emboscada. She has provided help to all the inmates in hospital care and those recovering at home. The witness has used private laboratories to have specific work done that the health institutions did not have the means to do. Nongovernmental organizations were constantly suggesting projects and studies based on foreign models that the institution could hardly have implemented as it did not have on hand the necessary infrastructure and human resources, especially given the idiosyncrasies of the environment in which she works. e) Testimony of Gloria Carolina Noemí Nicora de Martínez, official with the Office of the Director General of Human Rights of the Ministry of Justice and Labor The witness worked at the Center from March to July 2001, providing social assistance and advisory assistance on craftsmanship projects.
