• Outbreak of violence in Acapulco is one of the worst in recent years and comes during visit by US homeland security secretary John Kelly.
  

At least 28 young prisoners are corpses after brutal prison fight on Thursday in the Mexican Pacific resort of Acapulco, in one of the worst outbreaks of violence in the country’s troubled penal system in recent years.

The killings in Acapulco are the latest example of an upsurge in violent crime that has turned 2017 into one of the bloodiest years in the country’s modern history.

Acapulco, one of Mexico’s most famous beach resorts, was once a playground for Hollywood stars. However, in recent years it has been roiled by vicious gang warfare, and is now ranked one of the most murderous cities in the world.

Early last year, 49 people died in a battle between members of the feared Zetas drug cartel and rivals at a prison in the northern industrial city of Monterrey.

I think the time has come to permanently separate Acapulco from the word "resort". Nobody is going on vacation there ever again.

They may go there, but will anybody ever come back alive?
