Costa Rica is building a megaprison while ordinary citizens remain locked inside, according to the Latin American Post.

The facility's construction coincides with rising fears about overcrowding in existing prisons, as reported by the same outlet.

Meanwhile, Lufthansa plans to discontinue its route to San José in 2027, a move that may affect tourism and connectivity, per Ticotimes.
