Here, Martinez recalled that the criminal has been closed, "dilapidated and abandoned state, more than four years and is also for sale by SEPI, when there was a commitment to give a cultural use and social reintegration, which have not been met. "

Based on this, he stated that the city of Cartagena should request the Company Infrastructure and Equipment Penitentiary, "the assignment of facilities" in order to protect the historical heritage, "placing value on its unique architecture pentagonal built in 1927. "

As Sergio Martinez explains, you can follow the example of the European project Reprise for reasons covered in the early development and promotion of the cult heritage, "starting the recovery penitentiary institution such as public facilities for the urban life of the city" .

Thus, "we welcome the commitment of its restoration, and give a use" which can be for offices and public spaces for cultural activities, temporary and permanent historical exhibits, gardens, or social services for the neighborhood.
