Police officers get ready for inmates without a sentence to cast their votes at the Social Rehabilitation Centre in Guayaquil, Ecuador, on February 15, 2013. There are over 8000 inmates without sentence in Ecuador who can vote in advance for Sunday’s national election. Ecuadoran President Rafael Correa is favored to cruise to a new term Sunday to cement a “socialist revolution” that has brought stability to a nation where several leaders were forced out before him. An outspoken voice of the Latin American left and friend of ailing Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, the charismatic, US-educated economist is far ahead of his seven rivals in all opinion polls after six years in office.
