Alisson Moreta was one of the six people from the Penitentiary Security and Surveillance Corps who received a decoration for having had one of the first antiques.
She, like 1,360 prison officers, graduated – this Monday, November 28 – after a course that began last July.
She was impeccably dressed, with patent leather boots, a pixelated uniform and a cap; In addition, she wore a bulletproof vest, a handcuff, gas, and a flashlight. She did not carry a gun.

Leandro Quisirumbay, 23, another of the graduated prison officers, highlighted the training he received in human rights.
In terms of security, the young man mentioned that they have been trained with an intensive course of Jiu Jitsuself defense, karate, karate do and melee defense.
Moreta said that the training was carried out for five months, and there was a month of pre-professional practices in the different centers of deprivation of liberty; in Ecuador there are 36.
“I feel very excited (…) and proud,” said Moreta, 21 years old.
The new agents were located on the grass of the Atahualpa Olympic Stadium, in the north of Quito. His relatives and relatives were placed in the rostrum.
With her incorporation, she hopes that the violent acts recorded in prisons will change, since she maintained that her doctrine will be respect for human rights and the law.
Their work will be control and security in the filters, pavilions, cells, transfers. Then there will be specialization courses.
The relatives were happy about the graduation, but there was also concern.
Registration, door control and transfer of inmates, the three functions that will be carried out by more than 1,370 agents who will join prison centers at the end of November
Natalia Albuja, after the ceremony, indicated that they were from Ibarra and that her relative sometimes tried to join the Police; and, although he finished college, the lack of employment and his desire to join a security agency motivated him to join the Surveillance Corps.
There was also the incorporation of 100 educational inspectors for the centers for adolescent offenders. One of them was Ricardo Ortiz, a clinical psychologist by profession, who mentioned that there was training in technical aspects as well as methodological and socio-educational ones.

He stressed that there was international support for the training of agents.
