'Mom help me, please': Family alleges negligence in daughter's death at San Miguel jail

The family of Anadeys Muñoz Valenzuela is alleging negligence by prison authorities after the 18-year-old, who was pregnant, died while in pre-trial detention at the San Miguel Women's Penitentiary Center. Her mother, Yanitza, recounted a harrowing experience where her daughter allegedly sought help before her death.

Speaking on the program Podría Ser Peor, the family detailed their accusations against Gendarmerie, Chile's prison service.

The circumstances surrounding her final moments are now under scrutiny as the family seeks accountability for her death.

According to Yanitza, her daughter reached out for assistance, expressing distress. The family's public appeal highlights their grief and their determination to uncover the truth behind Anadeys's passing within the correctional facility. The case brings to the forefront concerns about the conditions and healthcare provided to inmates, particularly pregnant women, in detention centers.
