Riot between rival drug cartels leaves at least seven dead in Mexican prison riot

[Meatpie]

On October 30th, 2019 in Xochitepec (Mexico), 6 inmates were killed and 2 were injured in a riot at the Atalocholoaya prison. The 2 injured were taken to the hospital for treatment but 1 of them died making the total 7. First the Morelos government denied that a quarrel had occurred in the Atlacholoaya prison on Tuesday. Then they hid the level of violence that the inmates faced with the Jalisco (CJNG) and Los Rojos Cartel inside the prison yesterday. But today the prison guards decided to start a strike at around 8 in the morning. And they did not allow the entry of their peers into the prison on the shift change for fear of what they might face if they returned to jail armed with just some short clubs.

Cartel prison riots are always fun to watch. But..I can't sign in. And so must miss out on the blood and violence. Sigh.
