00:01:41.160 --> 00:01:44.160
So, we’re going
to review the facts

00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:49.660
to see if they fill the requirements
to start this oral trial.

00:01:51.880 --> 00:01:58.080
The accusations to be discussed
on this trial are the following:

00:02:00.470 --> 00:02:03.100
That in the San Miguel
Detention Center,

00:02:03.370 --> 00:02:05.700
in the early morning of
the 8th of Dec. of 2010,

00:02:05.710 --> 00:02:06.910
and following the lockdown,

00:02:06.920 --> 00:02:10.830
a group of inmates began
to drink home-made beer

00:02:11.450 --> 00:02:13.100
which started a big fight

00:02:13.120 --> 00:02:15.880
between two opposite factions
of this same group.

00:02:18.100 --> 00:02:20.000
And this started a fire,

00:02:22.380 --> 00:02:25.440
which ended with 81 deceased.

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:32.780
THE SKY IS RED

00:02:37.760 --> 00:02:45.920
The following files were obtained
from the judicial file of the case.

00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:06.750
A photo here, please…

00:05:07.750 --> 00:05:09.750
Ok, thanks.

00:05:09.750 --> 00:05:11.750
To the back…

00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.280
This is a house,
from here to here,

00:05:17.340 --> 00:05:20.210
this is a house,
here.

00:05:20.510 --> 00:05:22.210
Is this the last one
or the second-to-last?

00:05:22.210 --> 00:05:23.660
It’s the last house
there was here.

00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.770
Here lived Aguja.
Aguja, Nono.

00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:32.280
There lived Nono,
Alan, all the boys.

00:05:32.340 --> 00:05:33.480
Did you hang out with them?

00:05:33.500 --> 00:05:34.680
-What?
-Did you hang out with them?

00:05:34.710 --> 00:05:37.300
Yeah, because I lived with them
in the small room too.

00:05:37.430 --> 00:05:38.840
I lived with them...

00:05:38.860 --> 00:05:42.180
and also because they’re also from Caro
(Neighborhood),

00:05:42.480 --> 00:05:44.680
I came here and asked Aguja
what was going on

00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:46.820
And Aguja and the other
guys who lived here

00:05:46.860 --> 00:05:48.310
were making spear-like shives.

00:05:49.070 --> 00:05:50.890
I asked “Aguja, what’s wrong?”

00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:52.580
and he said “Pato, brother,
don’t worry,

00:05:52.590 --> 00:05:55.870
we’re not going to hurt you,
so stay cool, just stay here with us.

00:05:56.030 --> 00:05:58.860
Because today we’re gonna
bring down those sons of bitches”.

00:06:13.730 --> 00:06:18.720
Further back, you have
to stand beyond the bed…

00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:20.090
No, over here.

00:06:20.090 --> 00:06:21.360
And back…

00:06:23.340 --> 00:06:24.350
Yeah, like that.

00:06:27.170 --> 00:06:28.540
Who were the ones with the shives,

00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:30.520
-the ones inside or the ones outside?
-All of them.

00:06:30.540 --> 00:06:31.680
How many?

00:06:32.260 --> 00:06:35.250
I don’t know, I wasn’t counting,
I was just watching.

00:06:35.250 --> 00:06:37.130
1, 2, 5, 10?

00:06:37.130 --> 00:06:39.220
A lot, all of them, they were many.

00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.430
Like three guys, like before.

00:06:47.380 --> 00:06:49.750
They were running all over the place.

00:06:51.370 --> 00:06:52.200
Like this?

00:06:52.380 --> 00:06:53.440
Yes.

00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.170
Go there and make the gesture
of how they handled the gas balloon.

00:06:59.170 --> 00:07:03.830
He comes here and does something like this
and the fire lights all those room partitions,

00:07:04.190 --> 00:07:06.400
and then they pull back,

00:07:06.580 --> 00:07:09.880
and those who had the shives
start pulling them in

00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:11.690
but they were only
igniting the partitions,

00:07:11.710 --> 00:07:15.180
and suddenly I see
that they throw this thing inside.

00:07:15.310 --> 00:07:18.690
-Can you repeat that action?
-Let’s see, they did like this.

00:09:37.520 --> 00:09:41.540
Hey! They’re burning!
Do something, hey!

00:09:41.830 --> 00:09:44.280
C’mon, you fuckin cop!

00:09:56.500 --> 00:09:59.560
But he walked up to there.
He’s gone too far now.

00:09:59.910 --> 00:10:06.380
I need Poblete’s guard to stroll now
like he did that day, to record it.

00:10:07.040 --> 00:10:09.310
Ok, I’ll make the request.

00:10:12.780 --> 00:10:15.870
Hey, chief! Chief!

00:10:15.900 --> 00:10:18.440
There’s a fire here,
in the 4th south, chief!

00:10:18.480 --> 00:10:19.410
Thank you, sir.

00:10:19.470 --> 00:10:21.310
Die, you motherfucking assholes!

00:10:21.940 --> 00:10:22.580
Thanks.

00:10:33.030 --> 00:10:33.770
Ready?

00:10:33.820 --> 00:10:34.760
Who were you shouting at?

00:10:34.830 --> 00:10:36.670
To the officer
who was in the booth,

00:10:37.660 --> 00:10:39.430
but he didn’t even move,
he did nothing.

00:10:39.980 --> 00:10:43.060
He heard me,
because he could see the smoke too.

00:10:43.540 --> 00:10:45.700
Did he make any gestures at you?

00:10:45.730 --> 00:10:48.240
Yes.
He did this.

00:10:49.830 --> 00:10:52.620
But, with your permission,
he did like this, with his hand.

00:10:53.770 --> 00:10:55.620
This very gesture.

00:10:56.370 --> 00:10:59.620
Others, here next to me,
also shouted at him,

00:10:59.640 --> 00:11:01.810
that there was a fire,
that they were burning,

00:11:01.950 --> 00:11:04.070
and he said:
“may you burn alive”.

00:11:04.390 --> 00:11:05.750
Did the guard shouted something?

00:11:05.770 --> 00:11:08.640
When you… the booth officer,
did he respond something?

00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.380
Yes.
"May all the bastards die."

00:11:34.400 --> 00:11:35.560
Here was my bed.

00:11:38.270 --> 00:11:39.660
Can you come over there, please?

00:11:45.290 --> 00:11:49.930
Photo nº1: Large bedroom of the north wing,
tower nº5, 4th floor.

00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:54.980
On that day of the fire, how many
people lived with you in that room?

00:11:55.810 --> 00:11:57.200
Chubi,

00:11:57.430 --> 00:11:58.680
Johnny,

00:11:59.510 --> 00:12:01.440
El Pirigua,

00:12:04.180 --> 00:12:05.380
El Monito,

00:12:08.570 --> 00:12:11.680
María de los Perros,
Patito Contreras...

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:17.680
El Marquito...

00:12:20.870 --> 00:12:25.620
WARDEN STATEMENT

00:12:25.620 --> 00:12:34.420
"Private prisons charge a fine to
the State for prision overpopulation"

00:12:34.420 --> 00:12:40.980
We had to transfer
inmates to public prisons.

00:12:40.980 --> 00:12:46.020
Savings policy.

00:12:54.730 --> 00:12:58.730
They moved these people without thinking
about who got along with who and who didn’t;

00:12:58.730 --> 00:13:00.770
they changed everything,
it was their system.

00:13:01.880 --> 00:13:04.730
In short, they had a mess, really,

00:13:04.730 --> 00:13:07.330
but they didn’t think that
there were people living together

00:13:07.340 --> 00:13:10.090
who didn’t get along,
living in a very small space,

00:13:11.270 --> 00:13:13.830
like we had sheets for walls.

00:13:17.880 --> 00:13:19.480
Total imprisonment…

00:13:55.880 --> 00:13:59.730
INMATE STATEMENT

00:13:59.730 --> 00:14:06.180
We fought for space,
and fire was our weapon.

00:14:45.990 --> 00:14:49.840
Now that they’re all dead,
you come and help.

00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:53.170
When they needed your help,
you didn’t care!

00:14:56.190 --> 00:14:59.370
When they needed your help,
you didn’t care.

00:14:59.480 --> 00:15:03.830
Now you’re helping,
now that they’re all dead.

00:15:13.380 --> 00:15:15.380
We got approximately to here.

00:15:18.070 --> 00:15:20.760
Wait. Orrego,
wait a moment. Come.

00:15:20.760 --> 00:15:22.880
What is your view from up here?

00:15:23.370 --> 00:15:24.760
The same as yours.

00:15:24.760 --> 00:15:25.780
What is this?

00:15:26.890 --> 00:15:28.670
The Cell Block 5,

00:15:28.680 --> 00:15:32.240
in this case, the small rooms,
which are to this side.

00:15:32.380 --> 00:15:37.580
Did you cross paths with any inmate
from another cell block?

00:15:37.580 --> 00:15:39.900
No, they were sleeping,
actually.

00:15:40.560 --> 00:15:42.710
There was no noise up to that moment,

00:15:42.830 --> 00:15:44.830
-any noise from the other inmates.
-No.

00:15:46.970 --> 00:15:48.950
Did you hear any movement
in the bunk beds?

00:15:48.950 --> 00:15:49.730
No.

00:15:49.730 --> 00:15:52.350
-Any sword-like noise, like iron?
-No.

00:15:52.710 --> 00:15:54.780
I mean, you hear
iron noises every day.

00:15:54.930 --> 00:15:58.870
Any sort of noise like an argument
or fight inside the cell blocks

00:15:58.870 --> 00:16:00.920
that you might have
heard before the smoke?

00:16:00.940 --> 00:16:03.060
Yes, but that’s normal,
them fighting.

00:16:03.060 --> 00:16:06.800
Maybe your normal
is not our normal,

00:16:06.800 --> 00:16:09.060
what do you mean
that’s normal?

00:16:09.060 --> 00:16:11.240
What was it, what happened
before 5:20 a.m.?

00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:14.600
Man hear it from here,
I don’t know if it was at 4 or 5 a.m.,

00:16:14.600 --> 00:16:19.750
man hear quarrel, they call
each other names and that stuff.

00:16:19.750 --> 00:16:20.960
They call what?

00:16:21.380 --> 00:16:22.400
They call each other names.

00:16:22.410 --> 00:16:24.410
-Aha, they insult each other.
-Yes.

00:16:24.490 --> 00:16:26.820
-But that’s like normal.
-Ok.

00:16:34.670 --> 00:16:36.960
Lieutenant, where are we now?

00:16:37.580 --> 00:16:39.430
In the camera surveillance room.

00:16:39.430 --> 00:16:42.970
I went immediately to check in

00:16:42.980 --> 00:16:46.340
which sector was happening
the alleged fight.

00:16:46.430 --> 00:16:51.200
By the way,
I asked him to zoom in

00:16:51.370 --> 00:16:54.860
and we talked about it here:
“yes, there’s a bit of smoke”,

00:16:54.880 --> 00:16:56.750
and we said:
“no, they must be cooking”.

00:16:56.780 --> 00:16:57.570
-Lieutenant…
-Yes?

00:16:57.590 --> 00:16:59.780
With whom did you talk about this?

00:17:01.570 --> 00:17:03.480
-Who else was here?
-Here with my…

00:17:03.500 --> 00:17:05.450
With first officer Cristian Flores,

00:17:05.460 --> 00:17:07.000
with whom do I have the pleasure?

00:17:07.080 --> 00:17:09.140
-Yes? Ah, you…
-Mm, yes.

00:17:09.150 --> 00:17:13.860
Indeed, there was an unclear fire,
in which, what do I mean?

00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.980
That with the means we have
right now in the correctional facility,

00:17:17.010 --> 00:17:19.960
I can’t say:

00:17:19.980 --> 00:17:22.060
“Yes, there actually is”
or “there isn’t”

00:17:22.100 --> 00:17:25.960
a declared fire at a time,
being 5:45 a.m., right?

00:17:25.980 --> 00:17:27.000
-Ok.
-Ok.

00:18:06.550 --> 00:18:09.380
Police, good morning,
what’s your emergency?

00:18:09.580 --> 00:18:12.300
Hi, good morning.
Look, I’m in my apartment

00:18:12.320 --> 00:18:14.250
and I can see the San Miguel prison,

00:18:14.250 --> 00:18:15.630
and I don’t know if
they have reported it yet…

00:18:15.630 --> 00:18:18.130
In which street is the prison?
What’s the street?

00:18:18.320 --> 00:18:19.490
Ureta Cox.

00:18:21.220 --> 00:18:23.380
-Don’t hang up…
-Ok.

00:18:24.470 --> 00:18:26.480
San Miguel…

00:18:29.130 --> 00:18:32.200
I don’t know if they have reported it,
because I’m looking with binoculars.

00:18:32.250 --> 00:18:33.290
Wait a moment.

00:18:36.090 --> 00:18:39.520
There’s something burning on the roof,
because there’s a lot of black smoke.

00:18:42.580 --> 00:18:44.990
-Please, don’t hang up.
-Ok…

00:18:49.170 --> 00:18:53.290
-Do you see any person?
-Do you see somebody, a person?

00:18:55.880 --> 00:19:01.090
No. There’s a lot of smoke,
like from above, from the roof.

00:19:34.780 --> 00:19:41.140
Did you zoom in or close
the image in camera 8?

00:19:42.480 --> 00:19:45.310
-Can you repeat the image or video?
-Of course.

00:19:53.740 --> 00:19:59.170
In essence, the focus is changed, zooming in the floor.

00:20:01.870 --> 00:20:08.040
Why did you, after two fire alerts
and quite a lot of smoke,

00:20:08.920 --> 00:20:11.940
make those zoom ins with the camera?

00:20:16.930 --> 00:20:18.790
Ehhh…

00:20:22.190 --> 00:20:25.730
Why did you close the shots,

00:20:26.190 --> 00:20:29.480
and zoom in,
instead of opening the shots?

00:20:33.770 --> 00:20:34.820
I don’t remember.

00:21:23.370 --> 00:21:32.420
Operation images (…)
establish facts.

00:21:57.490 --> 00:22:03.160
I luv you!

/ 8-Dec-10 / 06:37:48 / Cellphone

00:25:51.390 --> 00:25:55.510
Tower 5, there’s a lot of smoke
coming out from there.

00:25:57.600 --> 00:26:00.520
The inmates from Tower 5
started to fight,

00:26:00.600 --> 00:26:07.080
which is the wing destined to inmates
with life sentences or long sentences.

00:26:07.640 --> 00:26:10.920
It might possibly be an intentional
smoke within a programmed break.

00:26:11.030 --> 00:26:15.480
CDP to prevent the exiting,

00:26:15.590 --> 00:26:19.070
because they might escape.

00:29:07.570 --> 00:29:10.480
Tower 5, go with fire hoses,
fire hoses!

00:29:12.150 --> 00:29:13.830
Go with fire hoses, man!

00:29:15.130 --> 00:29:16.770
Go with fire hoses!

00:29:27.380 --> 00:29:32.350
Did you receive information
on how to use fire hoses?

00:29:35.580 --> 00:29:36.240
No.

00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:39.790
Did someone teach you
to use fire extinguishers?

00:29:41.140 --> 00:29:41.980
No.

00:29:43.360 --> 00:29:48.380
We got some information
about breathing apparatus…

00:29:49.180 --> 00:29:51.220
and... that was it.

00:29:51.770 --> 00:29:54.280
And, how long did that training last?

00:29:54.280 --> 00:29:57.490
A semester? A week?
A day?

00:29:57.530 --> 00:29:59.260
No. It lasted a couple of hours.

00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:57.800
Within the instructions
you were given to investigate,

00:30:57.850 --> 00:31:01.830
they told you to investigate
the correctional officers

00:31:01.850 --> 00:31:05.100
from the Regional Department down,
is that right?

00:31:05.730 --> 00:31:09.640
Which means that the investigation included
officers from the San Miguel Penitentiary

00:31:09.640 --> 00:31:11.490
to the Regional Department
of Corrections.

00:31:11.820 --> 00:31:13.660
You didn’t receive any instructions,

00:31:13.680 --> 00:31:19.190
to investigate the National Department
of Corrections, is that right?

00:31:25.180 --> 00:31:26.610
That’s right, counselor.

00:31:26.700 --> 00:31:30.270
There were no instructions regarding
the National Department of Corrections.

00:31:31.600 --> 00:31:33.850
No further questions.

00:32:02.550 --> 00:32:05.310
(Screaming)

00:32:11.700 --> 00:32:14.400
Call the fire department, dude!

00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:19.300
Call the fire department,
fucking cop!

00:33:49.220 --> 00:33:53.970
I even told him "Open here.
Yes, they are dying here, too", in good words.

00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:58.960
I was completely desperate, because
the fire was all over the place.

00:33:59.050 --> 00:34:02.400
And it was coming here,
about to catch the beds here.

00:34:02.830 --> 00:34:05.970
I was like: “Chief, open the gate,
they’re all dying here too”

00:34:06.000 --> 00:34:09.700
without knowing that there were
already 15 dead on the other side,

00:34:09.730 --> 00:34:12.550
I yelled that.
“Please, open the gate here”.

00:34:12.980 --> 00:34:14.850
He didn’t even care.
He looked at me,

00:34:14.850 --> 00:34:18.950
trying to see who
was cursing at him,

00:34:18.970 --> 00:34:20.000
insulting him.

00:34:20.020 --> 00:34:23.450
I was telling him all that so
that he would notice me

00:34:23.470 --> 00:34:25.980
and come to help.

00:34:26.570 --> 00:34:29.750
-Did you yell at him?
-Yeah.

00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:31.010
What happened next?

00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:32.880
How did you open the gate?

00:34:33.290 --> 00:34:35.930
How much time went by
until the gate was open?

00:34:35.960 --> 00:34:37.760
A long time,

00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:40.040
a long time we were here,

00:34:41.050 --> 00:34:44.040
breathing smoke...

00:34:57.110 --> 00:34:58.170
Hello...

00:34:59.520 --> 00:35:00.210
Hello?

00:35:00.220 --> 00:35:01.920
-Fire Department.
-Good morning, ma’am.

00:35:01.930 --> 00:35:03.990
I’m correctional officer Sepulveda.

00:35:04.940 --> 00:35:09.130
Look, ma’am, we need the fire department
to send some units to the San Miguel prison,

00:35:09.780 --> 00:35:11.900
located in San Francisco
and Ureta Cox.

00:35:13.070 --> 00:35:15.650
-I’ll transfer you to the regional office.
-Thank you.

00:35:31.380 --> 00:35:33.280
-Hello? Don’t hang up.
-Ok.

00:35:46.080 --> 00:35:47.660
Well. I’m trying,
I’m trying.

00:35:49.550 --> 00:35:51.250
Damn, those girls aren’t picking up.

00:35:51.260 --> 00:35:52.780
-Hello?
-Hello, good morning.

00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:53.770
Yes, tell me.

00:35:53.780 --> 00:35:55.240
I’m calling from the Department
of Corrections,

00:35:55.260 --> 00:35:56.720
officer Sepulveda,
who am I speaking with?

00:35:56.740 --> 00:35:59.030
I already got the alarm,
I’m dispatching.

00:35:59.060 --> 00:36:01.300
-Ok, ma’am.
-Ok.

00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:02.300
Thank you.

00:36:12.380 --> 00:36:13.880
Ok, lieutenant,

00:36:13.910 --> 00:36:16.120
Do you know how many
wounded inmates are there?

00:36:16.570 --> 00:36:19.700
Officer, all the inmates from
the fourth floor are still up there.

00:36:21.150 --> 00:36:22.660
So, they haven’t gotten
any of them out yet?

00:36:22.980 --> 00:36:23.750
No.

00:36:26.350 --> 00:36:27.230
Hello?

00:36:32.160 --> 00:36:36.340
All the inmates were yelling
and saying to open the gates,

00:36:36.670 --> 00:36:38.160
that they were burning,

00:36:38.330 --> 00:36:40.340
and I told them
I didn’t have the keys,

00:36:40.370 --> 00:36:44.060
because the officers went
down to breath fresh air,

00:36:44.080 --> 00:36:45.250
to recover,

00:36:45.290 --> 00:36:48.900
because they had spent
a long time up here, right?

00:36:50.190 --> 00:36:52.170
They were also suffocating.

00:36:57.270 --> 00:37:00.190
The key to North 5 Tower,
who had it?

00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:02.500
-To the North 5?
-To North 5…

00:37:02.520 --> 00:37:04.170
to North 4, I’m sorry.

00:37:04.490 --> 00:37:06.790
-The keys to this sector, the North 4.
-At least, I didn’t.

00:37:06.810 --> 00:37:08.680
I had the keys that day.

00:37:08.940 --> 00:37:10.880
I had the keys, lieutenant.

00:37:11.190 --> 00:37:14.100
Do you remember that
I opened the lock to the North 4,

00:37:14.120 --> 00:37:15.180
with the bolt cutter first?

00:37:15.210 --> 00:37:17.750
When I was with the firefighter,

00:37:17.750 --> 00:37:20.020
I was carrying the bolt cutter,
and I opened the lock,

00:37:20.060 --> 00:37:22.320
and I couldn’t open
the one in South 4.

00:37:22.350 --> 00:37:25.740
-What’s your name, sir?
-Fernando Panaguirre Flores.

00:37:25.770 --> 00:37:27.830
-And you had the keys?
-Yes, I had them.

00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:29.630
-Fernando what?
-Panaguirre Flores.

00:37:29.710 --> 00:37:32.030
-Banaguirre.
-Panaguirre.

00:37:33.470 --> 00:37:36.080
Moreover…
look,

00:37:36.110 --> 00:37:38.970
with the same bolt cutter
that was on the floor,

00:37:38.990 --> 00:37:41.380
I grabbed it and cut
the locks from that gate

00:37:41.410 --> 00:37:45.220
to take out the hoses and take
them upstairs to try to put out the fire.

00:37:45.380 --> 00:37:48.580
-Ok… Fernando Panaguirre.
-Yes.

00:37:50.550 --> 00:37:55.560
 Ok… and if he had
the keys to the North 4,

00:37:55.650 --> 00:37:58.500
didn’t the correctional staff
have a back-up key?

00:37:58.510 --> 00:38:00.580
-Wasn’t there any…?
-No, there was only one keychain.

00:38:00.770 --> 00:38:03.460
And that keychain was in possession
of Fernando Panaguirre.

00:38:03.490 --> 00:38:07.910
Yes, because the officer was at the stairs
and didn’t want to go and open the gate.

00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:10.110
I arrived, took the keys
from his hands

00:38:10.180 --> 00:38:13.830
and went running
to open the locks.

00:38:14.440 --> 00:38:17.730
-Which officer?
-I don’t remember which officer.

00:38:19.270 --> 00:38:23.330
I'm not sure... I can’t tell any names,
because I’m not sure who it was.

00:38:23.620 --> 00:38:25.940
But, why did you mention
another person before?

00:38:26.110 --> 00:38:27.540
I don’t know,

00:38:27.710 --> 00:38:29.300
I thought that maybe
there were rivalries...

00:38:29.300 --> 00:38:31.040
Ok, who did you name…

00:38:31.120 --> 00:38:33.350
-In the statement?
-I don’t know… I don’t know,

00:38:35.830 --> 00:38:37.770
it’s hard enough for me as it is,

00:38:37.780 --> 00:38:40.310
being here under
these circumstances.

00:38:40.580 --> 00:38:42.210
Ok, you named a person,

00:38:42.430 --> 00:38:46.300
that person you mentioned
was in your statement,

00:38:46.320 --> 00:38:48.180
-Do you remember?
-Yes.

00:38:48.380 --> 00:38:50.830
Was that person there or wasn’t it?

00:38:50.870 --> 00:38:52.450
Or was it another one?

00:38:52.850 --> 00:38:54.300
No, it seems...

00:38:54.330 --> 00:38:56.510
that everyone says now
that it was another person.

00:38:56.530 --> 00:38:58.680
That doesn’t matter;
what did you see?

00:39:00.040 --> 00:39:02.180
No, I saw another person,

00:39:02.220 --> 00:39:05.500
but physically, from afar,
I saw a person,

00:39:05.510 --> 00:39:08.310
but I couldn’t distinguish
who it was.

00:39:08.340 --> 00:39:09.790
The name you gave me,

00:39:10.570 --> 00:39:13.190
can you confirm it?

00:39:13.540 --> 00:39:14.290
What?

00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:16.870
The name you gave me
in your statement,

00:39:18.290 --> 00:39:19.480
Do you remember that?

00:39:20.790 --> 00:39:22.790
When you gave your statement,
you mention a name.

00:39:23.080 --> 00:39:25.830
Yes, but I can’t tell you
the name in front of…

00:39:25.840 --> 00:39:28.280
Fine, but regardless of that,
I’m not asking you that.

00:39:29.290 --> 00:39:30.380
That person,

00:39:30.560 --> 00:39:32.290
was that the person
you saw,

00:39:32.350 --> 00:39:34.330
-or you’re not sure?
-I’m not sure.

00:40:07.360 --> 00:40:11.030
Did someone coerced you
to say, at that time,

00:40:11.050 --> 00:40:14.290
what you mentioned regarding
the name of the officer?

00:40:14.310 --> 00:40:17.620
What? I don’t understand
what you’re telling me.

00:40:20.500 --> 00:40:24.490
Did someone forced you
to say what is written there?

00:40:32.420 --> 00:40:33.030
Mr. Patricio…

00:40:33.050 --> 00:40:35.030
A commander of
the unit approached me...

00:40:35.660 --> 00:40:39.610
and told me and the other 4
who escaped the fire that day,

00:40:39.810 --> 00:40:42.740
that if we declare against
the Department of Correction,

00:40:42.740 --> 00:40:45.890
they were going to make my life
a living hell inside the prison.

00:40:52.450 --> 00:40:57.580
Photo nº1: Large bedroom of the north wing,
tower nº5, 4th floor.

00:41:12.180 --> 00:41:20.400
"They wanted me to act."

00:41:41.960 --> 00:41:44.940
Open the gates!

00:41:49.700 --> 00:41:53.400
We’re burning!

00:41:54.470 --> 00:41:59.400
-Open the gates!
-We’re burning!

00:42:22.880 --> 00:42:26.120
Open the gates!

00:42:36.790 --> 00:42:40.460
We’re burning!

00:43:00.680 --> 00:43:05.760
We’re contacting the correctional
officers to open the gates.

00:43:06.380 --> 00:43:12.210
I need personnel in the main entrance
to support the firefighters.

00:43:12.810 --> 00:43:13.980
Lieutenant Daisy,

00:43:14.110 --> 00:43:16.970
please contact the officer
on guard duty

00:43:16.970 --> 00:43:19.420
so that he opens the parking gate

00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:22.310
and let the fire trucks in.

00:43:22.710 --> 00:43:24.980
They don’t have access
through there;

00:43:24.980 --> 00:43:27.510
they say that area belongs
to the courthouse.

00:43:27.960 --> 00:43:31.000
The trucks, the RP,
the bolt cutter, lieutenant,

00:43:31.000 --> 00:43:34.150
at least to cut open the locks so
that they can come and throw water,

00:43:34.720 --> 00:43:36.820
I’m with the officer
on guard duty

00:43:36.820 --> 00:43:41.670
and she tells me they can’t go in throw there,
because it belongs to the courthouse.

00:43:41.860 --> 00:43:44.280
To speak to the firefighters,

00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:48.880
and tell them to use
the bolt cutter to cut the lock.

00:43:51.750 --> 00:43:55.780
Cut, cut if there is a lock,
if there is,

00:43:55.960 --> 00:43:58.920
I don’t remember what
they’re called…

00:43:59.120 --> 00:44:04.020
cut the locks and/or knock down that part
so that the firefighters can come in.

00:44:06.130 --> 00:44:10.660
Cut here in the entrance
to the correctional facility.

00:44:11.780 --> 00:44:13.010
Cut the lock.

00:44:36.190 --> 00:44:38.100
6 with complications!

00:44:39.220 --> 00:44:40.760
Fire truck!

00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:42.760
Repeat, repeat.

00:44:43.210 --> 00:44:44.990
Tower 6,
the water pressure dropped!

00:44:45.050 --> 00:44:46.650
The water pressure dropped!

00:45:10.520 --> 00:45:14.540
But... I had to leave
the lock and the bolt cutter,

00:45:14.840 --> 00:45:17.040
because my hands felt very hot.

00:45:17.600 --> 00:45:19.360
I leave the bolt cutter on the floor,

00:45:19.540 --> 00:45:21.200
I throw away my gloves,

00:45:21.320 --> 00:45:25.520
and I put some new ones right away.

00:45:40.580 --> 00:45:43.920
With those I felt
a bit more protected.

00:45:45.820 --> 00:45:50.670
And then I try to cut
the lock a couple more times.

00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:55.020
And I start to look
what was there,

00:45:55.180 --> 00:45:57.560
but I couldn’t see anything,
right?

00:45:59.220 --> 00:46:03.500
So, we directed the water
to cool down the people,

00:46:03.620 --> 00:46:07.380
who were shouting here
at the gate,

00:46:07.640 --> 00:46:09.820
and there were like
two officers

00:46:09.870 --> 00:46:12.600
who couldn’t come up because
of the high temperature.

00:46:16.210 --> 00:46:19.780
I ask one of them
what was here.

00:46:20.040 --> 00:46:22.360
And he tells me:
“That’s already discarded”,

00:46:22.530 --> 00:46:25.670
OK? I didn’t know that there...

00:46:26.100 --> 00:46:27.500
that there were people.

00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:01.780
Hey, open the gate!

00:47:32.670 --> 00:47:34.570
Son of a bitch!

00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:35.800
Rodrigo!

00:47:35.990 --> 00:47:39.800
-Put down, put down, put down.
-Right there.

00:47:41.240 --> 00:47:42.870
The one in the orange helmet!

00:52:59.410 --> 00:53:01.180
Hospital…

00:53:01.180 --> 00:53:03.180
Good morning, I’m calling from
the Correctional Department.

00:53:03.180 --> 00:53:07.590
-Yes?
-We have a big fire

00:53:07.600 --> 00:53:09.130
in the San Miguel unit.

00:53:09.160 --> 00:53:11.400
-A what?
-A fire.

00:53:11.840 --> 00:53:12.980
Damn…

00:53:13.690 --> 00:53:18.130
So, please, notify the ambulances
to go there.

00:53:20.570 --> 00:53:23.180
Which ambulances?

00:53:23.530 --> 00:53:26.620
The San Miguel unit is within
the Barros Luco area, right?

00:53:26.650 --> 00:53:27.650
No...

00:53:27.650 --> 00:53:30.850
The nearest hospital to
San Miguel is yours, right?

00:53:31.380 --> 00:53:34.430
Yes, of course.
Yes.

00:53:34.500 --> 00:53:37.540
Ok, then. And you have to cut down the supply,
because there are a lot of inmates.

00:53:37.590 --> 00:53:41.020
Are you telling me that
you’ll send patients here?

00:53:41.420 --> 00:53:45.060
There are more than 50,
100 inmates…

00:53:49.320 --> 00:53:50.310
Damn…

00:53:58.150 --> 00:54:01.910
Lieutenant, please send another truck to
the front gate, the families are a bit upset here.

00:55:06.780 --> 00:55:08.780
Boris Bahamondes.

00:55:14.070 --> 00:55:16.080
Germain Troncoso.

00:55:22.970 --> 00:55:24.790
Jonathan Mena.

00:55:29.020 --> 00:55:32.580
Víctor Cereceda, Andrés Mallea.

00:55:42.810 --> 00:55:44.180
At 6.30 p.m.

00:55:44.310 --> 00:55:49.960
the police officers call
on speaker to Antonio’s family.

00:55:53.620 --> 00:55:54.980
I start reading the records

00:55:54.990 --> 00:55:57.120
and the first thing I notice is
that the name doesn’t match.

00:55:57.130 --> 00:56:00.070
I say: “The photo matches,
but not the name”.

00:56:00.340 --> 00:56:01.700
What did they tell you then?

00:56:01.800 --> 00:56:03.860
“These are normal mistakes”.

00:56:03.860 --> 00:56:06.340
And I told them:
“what errors can there be?”

00:56:06.360 --> 00:56:08.860
The mess had no comparison.

00:56:13.140 --> 00:56:16.120
I feel that the officers working then
executed our sons,

00:56:16.140 --> 00:56:18.190
they condemned to dead.

00:56:18.690 --> 00:56:21.990
A group of people who didn’t open
the gates in the right time,

00:56:22.140 --> 00:56:24.260
who didn’t have
their protocols on check,

00:56:24.540 --> 00:56:27.330
who didn’t even know
who was on the tower.

00:56:29.350 --> 00:56:32.740
 But finally, how did you know
for sure your son was dead?

00:56:33.700 --> 00:56:35.010
I asked to see him,

00:56:35.270 --> 00:56:38.990
but when they allowed me to see him,
that Saturday afternoon,

00:56:39.420 --> 00:56:41.360
I saw him and then I don’t
remember anything more.

00:58:20.330 --> 00:58:23.230
DECEASED’S MOTHER STATEMENT

00:58:23.240 --> 00:58:26.990
Sometimes I dream that
he knocks on my door and says:

00:58:27.010 --> 00:58:30.760
“Mom, what you saw there,
it wasn’t me”

01:01:50.580 --> 01:01:52.480
I can’t...

01:01:57.580 --> 01:02:00.430
I can’t forget
what I lived through,

01:02:05.070 --> 01:02:09.470
because there died people
who shared life with me,

01:02:09.480 --> 01:02:13.080
who lived with me many times,
we lived together.

01:02:16.130 --> 01:02:19.340
I haven’t received psychological help,

01:02:19.370 --> 01:02:20.980
or medical help or anything,

01:02:25.030 --> 01:02:29.870
I mean… I dream

01:02:30.420 --> 01:02:32.830
about what I lived,
many times.

01:02:39.190 --> 01:02:40.840
I can’t...

01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:48.370
It’s hard to erase
the images…

01:02:49.720 --> 01:02:51.190
Do you understand me?

01:06:35.850 --> 01:06:36.900
Good afternoon.

01:06:36.990 --> 01:06:42.240
The hearing is renewed,
and we will read the verdict.

01:06:51.850 --> 01:06:55.410
This court has decided,
unanimously,

01:06:55.570 --> 01:06:57.340
the following:

01:07:00.800 --> 01:07:05.380
to absolve the accused of each
and every one of the charges

01:07:05.380 --> 01:07:10.360
made by the Public Attorney’s Office
and its parties.

01:07:12.980 --> 01:07:14.920
That is all, thank you.

01:10:03.700 --> 01:10:10.250
IN MEMORY OF:

01:10:12.670 --> 01:10:18.630
Dedicated to the families of the 81
and the survivors of this tragedy.

01:10:18.670 --> 01:10:22.170
Thank you for joining us
in this new memorial vigil,

01:10:22.170 --> 01:10:26.460
the 78th, to demonstrate
that we have not forgotten.

01:10:29.610 --> 01:10:33.190
The speaker is available for those who want
to put on some music or read a statement.

01:10:33.260 --> 01:10:35.880
And welcome
to the San Miguel prison, brother.
