| d) Testimony of Teresa de Jesús Almirón Fernández, psychologist
The witness is a clinical psychologist for emergency cases, for crisis control and terminal patients. She is also an official with the Ministry of Justice and Labor and provided psychological care to the inmates injured in the fires at the Center. Whenever there are major fires at the prisons, the ministers in office have called upon her to coordinate the work of crisis management for the families of the injured inmates. The State paid any and all costs related to medical treatment, medications and funeral expenses. She assisted some seventy people for an estimated 5 months per inmate. She also did follow-up on the inmates that needed plastic surgery or any other more specific treatment. Some inmates had inhaled large amounts of smoke and were therefore treated at the Max Boettner Hospital. She followed their progress by keeping in contact with them by telephone. Most of the inmates have gotten their lives back on track; some, however, have returned to committing crime. The witness has provided advisory services at, among other places, the Itauguá Education Center and at Emboscada. She has provided help to all the inmates in hospital care and those recovering at home. The witness has used private laboratories to have specific work done that the health institutions did not have the means to do. Nongovernmental organizations were constantly suggesting projects and studies based on foreign models that the institution could hardly have implemented as it did not have on hand the necessary infrastructure and human resources, especially given the idiosyncrasies of the environment in which she works.
