Introduction
Who can we help?
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO):
The FCO is represented overseas by its Embassies and Consulates (High Commission in
Commonwealth Countries). Both employ consular officers, and one of their duties is to provide help and
advice to any British National who gets into difficulty in a foreign country.
About the Embassy
We are impartial; we are not here to judge you. We aim to make sure that you are treated properly and
fairly in accordance with local regulations, and that you are treated no less favourably than other
prisoners.
We can answer questions about your welfare and about prison regulations but you must ask your lawyer
or the court about legal matters. The attached list of lawyers is provided by the British Embassy for your
convenience, but neither Her Majesty’s Government, nor any official of the Consulate, take any
responsibility for the competence or probity of any firm/advocate on the list or for the consequence of any
legal action initiated or advice given.
We cannot get you out of prison, pay fines or stand bail or interfere with local judicial procedures to get
you out of prison nor secure you an earlier trial date; we cannot investigate a crime.
We have tried to make sure that the information in this booklet is accurate and up to date, but the British
Embassy cannot accept legal responsibility for any errors or omissions in the information. If in doubt
contact a lawyer.
Who are the Consular Representatives?
Your point of contact at the British Embassy in La Paz is Ms Jill Benton and you may contact her at
consular.lapaz@fco.gov.uk.

First Steps
Who will know I have been detained?
The consulate would normally be notified of your arrest by local authorities. Please be advised that the
Bolivian authorities do not always advise the Embassy of arrests with immediate effect so you should ask
them to see a Consular Officer as soon as possible. We can also learn of your arrest from family or
friends and on occasions through the local media.
What will my family be told?
We respect your confidentiality and we will tell no one (including your family) unless you authorise us to.
If you agree, we can inform your family about your detention and the circumstances. We can provide your
family with relevant information about the legal system in Bolivia, and information on how to contact you
and transfers funds. We will provide contact information for the FCO and the Embassy as well as for
related organisations such as Prisoners Abroad. If your family wish to visit you while you are in prison we
can help with some arrangements.
What will the Consulate do?
We aim to contact you within 24 hours of the notification of the arrest and visit you as soon as possible.
We will provide a list of lawyers; give advice on local procedures; liaise with local authorities to flag any
medical needs and notify next-of-kin if so desired.
Once you are transferred to a prison, we will visit you once every three months, unless there are reasons
to visit you more frequently.
We can answer questions about your welfare and about prison regulations. We cannot answer questions
about legal matters. You should ask your lawyer these questions.
Would I have a criminal record in the UK?
You should be aware that if you are arrested for certain serious offences, such as sexual assault or drugs
crimes, our staff must inform other relevant UK authorities. The information about the criminal offence will
be sent to ACPO Criminal Records office in the UK. It is therefore possible that information about this
offence may appear if a criminal records check were carried out by a prospective employer for example.
Visits
How do my family and friends arrange a visit?
It is important that your family contact us in advance so that we can inform the prison authorities and
request additional visits. Consular officers may be able to accompany your family during their first visit to
the prison. Visitors should hold a valid photo ID to present to the prison authorities on arrival.
How many visits am I allowed?
This depends on the prison. Most prisons have set visiting days and times and this is usually twice a
week.
When family members come from the UK for visits consular staff will try to arrange extra visit days. Any
additional visits are at the discretion of the prison governor.
5
Consular visits
We will visit you every three months. During our routine visits you will have the opportunity to discuss any
health issues, security concerns, your treatment in prison and any other general issues that you wish to
raise with our Consular staff. At each Consular visit, our staff will complete a "Visit Report Form". If there
is any information that you would prefer not to disclose with your next of kin you should let us know
during the visit.
What can visitors bring?
Permitted items vary from one prison to another. Most prisons allow visitors to bring food, comforts,
money and toiletries for inmates. Your family should ask for the latest list of permitted items before
purchasing items.

Prison conditions/services
Arrival at police station
Following an arrest detainees are usually taken into police custody for a period of 48 hours (in application
of Article 97 of Law 1008). However, this period can actually range from a few hours to one or two weeks.
A detainee on remand must be conducted to the competent authority or court within 24 hours.
Arrival at prison
Any belongings that are not part of the investigation process or evidence should be returned to you. It is
not unusual for some belongings to go missing after an arrest or during prison transfers.
The British Embassy cannot store your personal belongings on your behalf. The only property we can
keep for you is your passport and driver’s licence however these are usually retained at the courts until
the end of your sentence. Please note that your passport might be kept by the courts as evidence of the
alleged crime or as a condition for your bail/parole. This measure is taken by the courts to prevent you
from skipping bail.
General prison conditions
Bolivian prison conditions are very poor compared to UK prison standards. You should not expect the
same level of sanitary conditions and comforts. Prisons in Bolivia are overcrowded and prison
cells/rooms are not always available. You may be expected to pay to use a cell/room.
There are two male prisons in La Paz. One is located in the downtown area of the city called
Penitenciaría de San Pedro or Panóptico Nacional, and the second is located near the town of Viacha
(about 75 kms from La Paz), and is called San Pedro de Chonchocoro.
San Pedro Prison: This is an adobe-walled (mud bricks) structure built in the 1890s to house
approximately 600 inmates. There are now about 2000 inmates. There are no cells within the prison and
the prisoners are assigned to rooms. Although supposedly forbidden by prison officials, most of the time
inmates have to pay and purchase a better room. Prisoners can also make improvements to the rooms
but must finance all improvements.
Food (usually a stew with very little meat) is prepared for all the prisoners in the prison kitchen. Because
of the low quality and the lack of sanitary conditions, most foreigners prepare their own meals or have it
brought from some restaurant outside the prison, or eat at a restaurant or snack bar concessions located
within the prison. Anything other than the “officially” supplied food must be paid for with personal funds.
Visitors can talk to prisoners any day of the week but are separated by an iron fence. The official visiting
days are Thursday and Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and relatives and friends are permitted free
access inside the prison and the prisoner’s rooms. Visitors are searched when they enter the prison.
Prison officials may read post sent to prisoners before it is delivered to the addressee. Attorneys for the
prisoners are allowed to visit with their clients all the time (this applies to all prisons).
While prisoners are supposedly required to perform some kind of work, it is possible to avoid work,
sometimes by making small payments.
Recreational facilities within the prison are sparse: a pool table, table tennis, and half-size courts for
basketball, volleyball, racquetball and soccer. The courts for many of these games are makeshift. A
number of prisoners have small libraries and these books are passed around.
7
San Pedro de Chonchocoro: San Pedro de Chonchocoro prison is totally different from the San Pedro
prison. It houses approximately 300 inmates who are usually serving time awaiting trial. It is so-called
maximum-security prison, most prisoners are held in connection with narcotics related activities. The
prison has a small chapel, a library, and prisoners are required to perform some type of manual activity.
Prisoners remain in individual cells at night and are allowed to walk in a large patio during the day.
Visitors are allowed on Saturdays only.
Cárcel de Mujeres: The women’s prison in La Paz, called Centro de Orientación Femenina or Cárcel de
Mujeres, is more modern than the men’s prison, but still crowded. It houses approximately 255 prisoners.
Within the prison you still find a large inner courtyard, a small library, a dining area, and sewing area. An
outer courtyard is used for visiting days, when the prisoners may be visited by their relatives. During other
days relatives are generally not allowed to talk with the prisoners, and are not allowed in to the prisoners’
room. About ten women are housed in large rooms, dormitory style. While food is supplied by the
administration, many of the women get food from restaurants outside the prison or prepare their own
meals to supplement their diet.
Carcel de Mujeres Miraflores: This is a high security system prison in La Paz, although the
building was not planned to be one. Located on the corner of Argentina Av. and Francisco de
Miranda St., it’s supposedly to house 40 inmates but at the moment there are more than 80. All
the basic services are covered, even though they are restricted somehow. There are four
bathrooms; one for each block, one is only used by sick internees. Internees are allowed to use
the only phone, calls can be restricted. There’s only one TV set per room. Internees are allowed
to use only battery radios if they get the respective permission. As some internees are mothers
of little children, they are allowed to live with them presenting the respective ID and a birth
certificate. Internees are allowed to use sharps with a permission. Visits are allowed on
Thursdays, Sundays and/or holidays. Anyone can ask for an interview with an internee any day
for an hour, previously asking for permission. Workers and volunteers that have a credential can
get into the prison on approved days and hours.
Palmasola Prison in Santa Cruz: Palmasola is the biggest prison in the country, it houses around 4000
inmates but it was build to house only 600. It consists of several blocks: one for female prisoners, one
maximum-security block, one for inmates with infectious diseases, one for high-profile prisoners and 2
blocks to house the rest of the male inmates.
Palmasola conditions are worse than in La Paz, the warm climate and humidity affect sanitary conditions.
Inmates are expected to pay for a room or cell, .
Visitors are allowed in Palmasola on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
San Sebastián Prison in Cochabamba: An adobe block (mud bricks) building built decades ago. While
small in size, it does not differ substantially from the prisons in La Paz. However, the climate is warmer
than in La Paz.
How can I receive money?
There are two ways in which you can receive financial assistance while in prison.
 Private Funds: Deposited to you by your family or friends through the Foreign and Commonwealth
Office.
 Prisoners Abroad: If your family can’t support you financially Prisoners Abroad may be able to send
you a small grant every quarter for essentials.
8
Money received from the UK will be converted into local currency and held on your behalf by our
Embassy. Our Consular staff will hand your funds to you in their visit.
Please note that the Embassy/Consulate does not provide financial support to British Nationals in prison
abroad.
Can I work or study in prison?
Most prisons have workshops (handcrafts, carpentry, bakery, etc.); prisoners who participate in these
workshops can sell their products and receive an income. There may also be opportunities within the
prison for you to start a business and work independently offering services/products to other inmates.
Can I receive medical and dental treatment?
If you need medical or dental treatment you should ask to see the prison doctor or dentist. Prison doctors
can only provide basic attention and treatment.
If you need to see a specialist, the prison’s forensic doctor should issue a report requesting external
medical attention. Your lawyer can help taking this request to the judge, who will decide if to approve or
refuse the request.
Not all medical services are available in the prison hospital and if sent externally you may be asked to
cover some medical costs. If you are taken to an external hospital, a police escort will be assigned to you,
you may need to use handcuffs or other type of restraints.
Food and Diet
Food provided in prison is basic. Usually consisting of potatoes, rice or noodles with a small portion of
protein, usually beef stew or chicken and vegetables. Other food is available for sale inside the prison
and inmates run snack shops where you can buy other types of food and beverages.
Mail/Parcels
You can receive letters and parcels from your family through the Embassy. Letters and parcels sent to
the Embassy are opened before they are given to prisoners to check for prohibited items. Consular
officers will not read the contents.
Please bear in mind that parcels sent to Bolivia can be subject to customs inspections and the Embassy
cannot claim any parcel retained in customs nor clear any customs fees on your behalf.
If you would like your family in the UK or elsewhere to email you, then please let them know that they
may do so via our central email box: consular.lapaz@fco.gov.uk. Please ask them to entitle their email
with your full name together with the prison where you are detained. Messages from prisoners to their
family and friends can only be sent if they can provide the Embassy/Consulate with an email address.
The messages will be forwarded to the families in 20 working days. Please be aware that the Embassy
will not forward letters from prisoners by post.
9
Can I make telephone calls?
According to Bolivian law, inmates are not allowed to own mobile phones, however, some prisons have
public pay phones which you can use to make and receive calls.
If you need to contact the embassy and cannot access a phone please approach prison authorities or
your lawyer, if you send us written communication, our consular staff will reply to your correspondence
within our target of 20 working days (excluding postage time). Urgent matters will be prioritised. Please
raise any issues with us during consular visits.
You should not use a mobile phone to contact Consular Staff and we can only receive calls made from
official phones within the prison. All calls should be made to the Embassy switchboard number. You
should not communicate with consular staff via social media including “whats app”.
Leisure and entertainment
Leisure activities and sports tournaments are organised by the inmates. Some prisons have libraries and
workshops and most of them allow you to buy a TV for your room. The Embassy receives book donations
and can lend you reading material if you wish.
Drugs
If you are caught with any kind of illegal drugs in the prison you will be punished. A disciplinary hearing
will determine your punishment which can include isolation and manual labour. Tobacco and cigarettes
are allowed inside Bolivian prisons.
How can I make a complaint about mistreatment?
There is no official complaint procedure in place for mistreatment cases in Bolivia. If you wish to file a
complaint please contact the Embassy or let us know during the consular visit so that we take your
concerns forward.
10
The Bolivian Judicial System
The Embassy cannot interfere with the Bolivian Judicial system. We cannot ask for your case to be
judged quickly or ask the authorities to waive any penalties. Below you will find more information about
the Bolivian judicial system.
Most British citizens detained by the Bolivian police are held under the narcotics Law (Ley 1008). The
new narcotics law provides for a minimum sentence of two years imprisonment for the lightest criminal
activity related to narcotics, and the maximum penalty of 25 years for trafficking.
Is the system the same as the UK?
Bolivian trials are not trials by jury. Trial procedures for narcotics and non-narcotics cases are fairly
similar. If the decision is made to prosecute, the case is handed over to a trial judge for trial. If a decision
is made not to prosecute the defendant is freed. The investigative action in both cases can take a
number of months.
What should happen when I am arrested?
Following an arrest, the accused is taken into police custody for a period of 48 hours (in application of
Article 97 of Law 1008). However, this period usually ranges from a few hours to one or two weeks.
For how long can I be remanded in custody?
If detained in larger cities you could be kept in custody for up to 48 hrs. However, in smaller towns this
period can be extended up two weeks whilst arrangements are made to transfer you to a prison in the
main city.
If you were arrested in possession or under the influence of small quantities of drugs, you may be held in
custody whilst the authorities gather evidence such as blood tests to charge you as a consumer rather
than a drug trafficker. This process can take a few weeks and you could be held in custody for the whole
period.
What happens when I am charged?
Prosecutors in charge of a case will conduct an investigation to determine if there are grounds for trial. If
so, trial would be opened and conducted by a competent court upon accusation of the prosecutors.
Except when persons are apprehended in flagrante delicto, i.e. when the person is caught when
committing the offence, all confiscation of drugs and goods and all arrests shall be carried out in the
presence of a Controlled Substances Prosecutor (Fiscal).
A foreigner with a small amount of drugs, especially if it is not cocaine, who is under the influence of the
drugs at the time of arrest, may be looked upon as a consumer and expelled from the country. Foreigners
who do not have permanent resident status and who are found in possession of any type of drugs are
obliged to pay a fine, and are immediately expelled from the country. However, this person could also be
11
considered in possession of, or a trafficker in drugs, and be prosecuted if determined so by the narcotics
police, in consultation with the Prosecutor of Controlled Substances assigned to the case.
Persons arrested with significant quantities of drugs are prosecuted under Law 1008. Police or
prosecutors usually permit access to a lawyer (mandatory by law) when declarations are being taken and
a determination has been made to prosecute. Statements made to the police or prosecutors are almost
always admitted to the court as evidence for prosecution.
If the narcotics police (FELCN) and the prosecutor of controlled substances believe that the case before
them warrants prosecution, the case is sent to trial. When the records of Judicial Police action and of
prosecution are brought to the knowledge of the Court of Local Controlled Substances, they must be
accompanied by an application by the prosecutor for the opening of the proceedings, with an assessment
of the facts according to the types of offences and a presentation of the relevant prosecution evidence.
Rarely does it occur that a case sent by the police is rejected for trial by the prosecutor or subsequently,
on technicalities, by the judge.
The Court of Local Controlled Substances shall, within 24 hours after having received the records of
Judicial Police action and of prosecution with the corresponding application, issue the initiating order,
assessing the facts according to its own criteria. They could even depart from the prosecutor’s application
in those cases if it can be considered from the review of the records that the offence is more serious.
The initiating order shall also include: (a) The formal detention of the accused person or persons present;
(b) An order for the arrest of persons absent; (c) A preventive record of goods, (subject to registration in
the registers of real rights the Ministries of Aviation and Transport, the telephone companies or the
relevant offices or institutions), of all goods confiscated from the accused or from third persons who are
connected with the offence or offences; (d) The formal deposit of money, assets, jewellery, shares,
securities and the like in a State Bank on the order of the National Council Against Drug Abuse and Illicit
Traffic, which shall act as depository or warranty.
What provision is there for bail?
There is no bail under the narcotics law.
What kind of legal assistance is available
A privately retained lawyer can represent a defendant or, if he or she does not have the financial
resources to pay a private attorney, the District Superior Court will provide the defendant with a court
appointed public defender. The fees of Bolivian attorneys vary widely, and have ranged from US$ 700 to
US$ 11,000 per defendant.
The Embassy cannot provide a lawyer for a British defendant or advise which lawyer should be selected.
The Embassy can, however, provide British Nationals with a list of Bolivian attorneys. The list does not
name all qualified Bolivian attorneys, and the Embassy assumes no responsibility for the professional
ability or integrity of the persons or law firms who appear on the list. The Embassy is not authorised to
defend a British citizen accused of a crime, give advice about legal strategy, or act as the British citizen’s
attorney in any way. Furthermore, the Embassy does not cover the cost or guarantee the payment of
appointing a lawyer.
12
What happens at the trial?
The trial process opens with a hearing for the defendant to give a statement to the Judge of Controlled
Substances concerning their alleged involvement in the crime. There are no juries. Other defendants may
give their statements the same day, or at subsequent hearings which may be scheduled a week or more
later.
When the statements have been made and the public nature of the trial is assured, the officiating judge
shall announce the opening hearing of the proceedings. When the procedural action has been taken, the
proceedings shall take place continuously in successive hearings up to their conclusion within the space
of 20 calendar days. The records of Judicial Police (FELCN) action shall constitute documentary
evidence. In practice this phase of the trial can take several months, since audiences are generally
separated by a week or two or even more.
Usually, the prosecution uses the materials collected at the time of the arrest, the statements made by
the defendants to the police and the testimony of the arresting officers as its evidence.
The defence can question the prosecutor’s evidence, but only if the judge rephrases the question before
directing it to a witness. The defence evidence, besides the questions asked by defence attorney, can
include clean police records from the United Kingdom and letters of good conduct from civic, university,
and religious leaders who know the defendant.
Statements of good conduct written by individuals in the UK must be translated into Spanish and the
translation certified by the British Embassy in order to be introduced in the Bolivian court as evidence.
Usually the defendant introduces this evidence.
Upon completion of the phase in which the prosecution and defence present their final statement or
recommendations to the judge (this phase is called “conclusiones”), the recommendation of the
prosecutor of controlled substances assigned to the case, called the “requerimiento”, is read at a hearing
and submitted to the judge. Following the prosecutor’s recommendation, the judge shall declare open the
period for final pleas, granting the parties periods of three days to formulate their respective final pleas.
That period shall be a single common period for all the accused and shall be computed from the day
following notification of the requirement to make final pleas. The lawyer for each defendant has an
opportunity to make a final statement called the “alegato” to the judge. Frequently, these statements are
merely placed in the court record, even though a lawyer may request a public hearing at which the
defendant’s statements are read.
Sentences
After studying the case, usually for several months at least, the judge schedules a hearing to read the
decision (the “sentencia”) or first degree sentence. The judge can find a person innocent, absolved
(meaning that the evidence was not sufficient either to convict or prove innocence), or guilty.
No matter what the judge decides, the decision is automatically reviewed by the District Superior Court,
which may confirm the decision, lower, raise, or annul the sentence. They can also impose a sentence
where there was none before. Before the case goes to the Departmental Justice Court, it is passed to the
district prosecutor of Controlled Substances for a recommendation. Once the district prosecutor has
13
completed the review, the lawyers or the defendants also have the opportunity to present formal
statements in writing, making their own recommendation and comments to the said Court.
Once the case reaches the Court, it is assigned to the Penal Chamber, one of the four chambers of the
Court, and within that section one higher judge or “vocal” is given the responsibility for drafting the
decision of the court. The draft decision must then be ratified by a majority of the judges in the Chamber.
According to the law, the Court has 15 days to make this decision but usually it takes longer, can be up to
three months. After the decision has been rendered by the Court, the district prosecutor of controlled
substances and the defence attorneys are officially notified.
Decisions by the Court are subject to review by the Supreme Court of Justice in Sucre. The process in
the Supreme Court is similar to that of the Departmental Justice Courts. However, due to the heavy
workload that the Supreme Court has, months usually go by before the Court renders a decision. The
Supreme Court has absolute reviewing authority in matters of sentencing, no matter what the lower
courts have decided.
The decision by the Supreme Court is called an “Auto Supremo” and is final.
How can appeals be made?
Your lawyer can help you appeal to the court’s decisions when eligible.
What provision is there for reduction of sentence (remission) e.g. for good behaviour?
Once you have been sentenced you may apply for parole based on good behaviour. Depending on the
case, you could apply for a reduction of sentence as well. You should ask your lawyer for advice on this.
What provision is there for early release e.g. on parole?
A person who receives a sentence confirmed by the Supreme Court is eligible for parole (libertad
condicional) after serving two-thirds of the sentence. To obtain parole, application must be made to the
judge who rendered the first-degree sentence in the case. (The sentence begins once it has been notified
by the Judge, and the waiting time does not count as part of the sentence).The judge requests a
certificate of good conduct from the warden of the prison. If the judge finds no objection to release, fines
and court costs (usually US$ 50 to US$ 125) are paid and the individual is released. The terms of parole
normally require that the parolee remain in Bolivia and report to a judge periodically, as well as fulfil
certain other conditions until the remainder of the sentence is completed. Given the requirement to
remain in Bolivia, parole is difficult to obtain for foreigners who are not residents of Bolivia.
What provision is there for clemency or pardon?
A recent disposition called “indulto” allows prisoners who have been sentenced to apply for a full pardon
after serving 1/3 of their sentence. Prisoners with disabilities or a serious illness may apply for an early
pardon or “indulto”.
What about any financial penalties?
A sentence can result in a financial penalty rather than prison time. This is unlikely in narcotics cases.
Is transfer to another prison within Bolivia possible?
It is possible but not easy. Your lawyer can give you proper advice.
14
Is transfer to the UK a possibility?
Yes. If you wish to be transferred to a UK prison you must tell our consular staff so we can work explain
the requirements and provide assistance with the request.
What are the procedures for release and deportation?
After being released you will need to clear any fines with Immigration. Immigration can waive the fine for
the time spent in prison if you can submit relevant evidence. In some cases, you may be expelled from
the country upon your release; you would need to cover the costs of your deportation and you will not be
admitted back into Bolivia.

Volunteer Workers
There are some charitable organisations who volunteer at the prisons, mostly religious or related to
human rights. You may be visited by these organisations if you wish to.
Prisoners Abroad
Since 1978 the charity Prisoners Abroad has offered practical support and advice to British citizens
imprisoned overseas. It is the only UK charity providing this service and it is available to all, whether
guilty or innocent, convicted or on remand. Prisoners Abroad is concerned with your health and welfare,
both during your imprisonment and also on your return to the UK, through their resettlement service (if

Key phrases – English into Spanish
The phrases below are intended to help anyone with little or no knowledge of the Spanish language
communicate at a basic level within the prison environment.
Some Basics
In Spanish all nouns have a gender, either masculine or feminine (for example, the word for 'house'
(casa) is a feminine noun so 'a house'/'the house' is translated as 'una casa'/'la casa'. The word for 'book'
(libro) is a masculine noun so 'a book'/'the book' is translated as 'un libro'/'el libro').
The gender of the word will affect adjectives which refer to that word. For example, if you want to say 'the
red house' you would say 'la casa roja'. If you wanted to say 'a red book' you would say 'un libro rojo'.
Where appropriate, the gender of each form of the word has been given below: masculine forms of the
word are denoted by '(m)', feminine by '(f)'. The plural form of the word (i.e when there is more than one
of the object concerned) is denoted by 'pl'. So, 'these houses' would appear as 'estas casas (fpl)' and
'those books' would appear as 'esos libros (mpl)'.
Accents may appear above certain vowels, helping pronunciation by indicating where the stress should
be placed in that particular word (e.g. prisión, miércoles, teléfono). In the absence of accents, words
ending in either a vowel or …n / …s will have stress placed on the penultimate syllable (e.g. nosotros,
transferido, urgente). If the word ends in a consonant other than …n / …s, the last syllable is stressed
(e.g. necesitar, enfermedad, espanol)

(In Spanish, there are two verbs which translate as
‘to be’: ‘ser’ and ‘estar’. ‘Ser’ is meant to convey
something permanent (e.g. ‘I am English’, ‘I am a
man’), and ‘estar’ is meant to convey something
more temporary like a mood or emotion (e.g. ‘I am
ill’, or ‘I am happy’).
