Background
Miguel Castro Castro Penitentiary Establishment (Spanish: Establecimiento Penitenciario Miguel Castro Castro), also known as Cantogrande Prison (Spanish: Penal de Cantogrande) is a low-security male-only prison operated by the National Penitentiary Institute (INPE) in San Juan de Lurigancho, a district of Lima, Peru. It is named for Miguel Castro Castro (d. 1985), a penitentiary servant assassinated during the Internal conflict in Peru. Built between 1984 and 1986, the prison housed members of the Shining Path (PCP-SL) and the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA) during the Internal conflict in Peru. Other notable inmates have since included politicians, such as Jaime Yoshiyama, Daniel Urresti, Edwin Donayre, Luis Castañeda, César Villanueva, Luis Nava Guibert, among others.
