Decree that established the regulations for the regime of life and progressive penitentiary treatment for inmates convicted of terrorism and treason during the Fujimori government.
Supreme Decree No. 005-97, promulgated on June 24, 1997, established the Regulations for the regime of life and progressive treatment of inmates for terrorism and treason. This norm was part of the anti-terrorist legislation implemented during Alberto Fujimori's government. The decree regulated the conditions of confinement and the specific penitentiary treatment for persons convicted of these crimes. It was part of a policy of hardening the penitentiary regime that had previously eliminated benefits such as parole, parole, semi-liberty, and work-study parole for those convicted of terrorism.
