    Mexico police detain prison director, 4 guards

    CIUDAD JUAREZ, Mexico (AP) — Mexican authorities say they have detained the director and four guards at a prison in Ciudad Juarez where 17 inmates were killed in fighting last week.

    Chihuahua state prosecutors say in a Tuesday statement that Ciudad Juarez state prison director Lucio Cuevas is accused of giving privileges to some inmates and the four guards of covering up for inmates and corrupting minors.

    Authorities in the border city said 16 male and 1 female inmates were killed in a fight at the prison.

    A surveillance video shows two inmates opening doors to allow armed prisoners into a room where the slain victims were reportedly holding a party.

    Prosecutors are investigating reports that guards brought four women, including a minor, into the prison before the shootings.

      That country is so corrupt it is amazing. And, the most corrupt seem to be in law enforcement and politics. That sound familiar.

      What can you say about Mexico today? A beautiful country with many natural riches -- and a people gone mad.
      • Gazprom Executive 9 mths ago
        At least in Juarez and a section of mexico. In some beautiful areas, its not that bad as what the media portrays. Puerto Vallarta, Cozumel, etc.

      Mexico is on a roll with the number of oficials being either arrested and taking corruption very seriously than ever before. Hopefully, this will be a trend than some short-term development.

        Good to be hopeful but the reality is that the corruption is so deep rooted that it has become a part of the Mexican culture. It's sad and pathetic but a fact. Myself and some very big business owners from Mexico don't see the light at the end of tunnel yet.

      Talk Detroit, Chicago, NYC, Compton...none of them hold a candle to the toughness of Juarez. A place where you don't go into the wrong neighborhood...in the daytime.

      Corruption in Mexico!...Say it isn't so!!...LOL
    • ago13  •  9 mths ago
      Where else could this happen but in Mexico? Drug lords and cronies killing with abandon, corrupt cops, politicians and government officials. I feel bad for the inocent people there who just want to live a peaceful life. Not much of a chance though. My suggestion is to put all the criminals on an island and drop a bomb on it....Done, just like that!

      After a few rounds of rock, paper, scissors, the shooting started over a lemonade shortage due to bad water.

      Sounds to me like a very effective way to deal with drug cartel members. Put them all in the same cell and give them all knives.

      Sounds like they left the most important part of the criminal elements in their employed staff alone. They are ALL crooks who are on the take.
