In Santa Marta, Colombia, a street that had been blocked off for six years due to the presence of an improvised detention center known as 'La Norte' has now been reopened. The facility, which was located in the historic downtown area, held over 300 detainees despite being designed for around 100 people, leading to overcrowding, safety concerns, and frequent disturbances. After the last inmates were moved out, the street between Cuarta and Quinta avenues was restored, ending a period marked by insecurity and fear for local businesses and residents. Officials and community members had long called for the removal of the facility, which had become a symbol of instability in the region.
