The examining magistrate of the case, Leopoldo Puente, ordered on Thursday their immediate placement in pre-trial detention without bail, considering that there is an &#8220;extreme&#8221; risk of flight in the framework of the case for alleged irregularities in the awarding of contracts for masks during the pandemic. <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"256\" data-end=\"694\">Latest information on the imprisonment of \u00c1balos and Koldo<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"696\" data-end=\"1147\">The measure comes after the request of the popular accusation exercised by the Popular Party, which was also joined by the Anti-Corruption Prosecutor&#8217;s Office. With this resolution, \u00c1balos becomes the first active deputy to go to jail: minutes after the decision was known, the Congress formally asked the Supreme Court for the certification of the indictment and the imprisonment order, a previous step to suspend him from his seat. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1149\" data-end=\"1433\">The court ruling also reactivates the media spotlight on Soto del Real, a prison known for housing some of the most relevant public figures involved in major corruption cases and for its unusual facilities within the Spanish prison system.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1440\" data-end=\"1501\"><strong data-start=\"1443\" data-end=\"1501\">This is the Soto del Real prison where \u00c1balos and Koldo have been held.  <\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_140775\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-140775\" style=\"width: 974px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-140774\" src=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-11-27-160003-300x167.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"974\" height=\"542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-11-27-160003-300x167.png 300w, https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-11-27-160003-768x427.png 768w, https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-11-27-160003.png 1039w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 974px) 100vw, 974px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-140775\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is the inside of Soto del Real prison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"1503\" data-end=\"1902\">The Soto del Real prison, located some 45 kilometers from Madrid, opened its doors in 1992 with a pioneering model of operation. Its structure was conceived as a small self-sufficient city, incorporating services and spaces not usually found in other prisons, such as a large swimming pool, squash courts, sports courts and training areas. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1904\" data-end=\"2147\">The State even earmarked a specific item to renovate the pool in 2019, when figures such as Oriol Junqueras or Luis Barcenas passed through the center, which further increased the public perception that it was a &#8220;VIP prison&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2149\" data-end=\"2395\">The complex has <strong data-start=\"2172\" data-end=\"2198\">14 main modules<\/strong>, each with 72 cells, as well as specific units for inmates with different profiles. At its peak it had more than 2,000 inmates; it currently houses around 1,000. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2397\" data-end=\"2629\">Despite its unique facilities, security remains a priority: a 56-meter watchtower dominates the premises and no movement is allowed outside the framework established by the judicial and penitentiary authority.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2636\" data-end=\"2700\"><strong data-start=\"2639\" data-end=\"2700\">Daily life behind the walls: schedules, routines and norms<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_140770\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-140770\" style=\"width: 902px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-140769\" src=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-11-27-155617-300x178.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"902\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-11-27-155617-300x178.png 300w, https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-11-27-155617.png 609w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 902px) 100vw, 902px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-140770\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Life inside Soto del Real prison<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"2702\" data-end=\"3080\">The day at Soto del Real officially starts at 7:30 a.m. with a sound signal. The inmates must clean their cell (about ten square meters with a bunk bed, table, chair, toilet and shower) before going to breakfast: upon arrival they receive a basic kit with hygiene products, bed linen and a provisional uniform, although they can use their own clothes later. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3082\" data-end=\"3244\">Communications are strictly regulated: each prisoner has up to ten five-minute calls per week, always to previously authorized numbers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3246\" data-end=\"3613\">Activities take place throughout the day: occupational workshops, educational training, therapies and sports. Lunch is served at 13:30 and is followed by a mandatory rest period. In the afternoon, inmates can go to the library, take courses or go out into the courtyard. The day concludes with dinner at 19:30 and lockdown at 21:00.   <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"3620\" data-end=\"3674\"><strong data-start=\"3623\" data-end=\"3674\">How it is decided in which module \u00c1balos and Koldo will be placed<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_140772\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-140772\" style=\"width: 944px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-140771\" src=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-11-27-155911-300x184.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"944\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-11-27-155911-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-11-27-155911-768x470.png 768w, https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2025-11-27-155911.png 1053w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 944px) 100vw, 944px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-140772\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The complex has 14 main modules<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"3676\" data-end=\"4031\">Soto del Real allocates some of its modules to specific profiles: the so-called <strong data-start=\"3756\" data-end=\"3780\">&#8220;respect modules&#8221;<\/strong> (such as 9, 10 and 12) concentrate inmates with particularly good behavior.
