La Joyita Prison is a prison in Pacora, Republic of Panama. The facility is overcrowded and has been repeatedly accused of systematic abuses against its population.
Problems at the prison have included drinking water being available only for part of the day. In September 2013, the Government Minister, Jorge Ricardo Fabrega, said 5,500 inmates from La Joya and La Joyita would be transferred, starting in January 2014, to the new La Joya Prison located in Pacora.
