SpainFollowing earthquakes in Granada on August 18, 2026, over 100 inmates at the Granada Center for Social Reintegration (CIS) were temporarily released and allowed to remain outside the facility for six days and five nights under remote monitoring. The center was evacuated due to structural risks caused by the tremors, which affected buildings, commercial centers, and hotels across the area. These inmates typically reside at the CIS during nighttime hours while they are out working or studying during the day. According to the CSIF union, this remote supervision is an exceptional measure and cannot replace the need for physical oversight by prison staff. The union has called for updated emergency plans, structural maintenance, and a technical inspection to ensure the building’s safety and habitability.
