TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras, April 27 (UPI) -- Nine prisoners in a Honduran detention facility were killed during a riot among inmates believed to be gang motivated, according to prison officials.
Control of the prison, which holds about 3,000 inmates despite being designed to house 800, was regained after eight gang-affiliated prisoners and one bystander inmate were killed, El Heraldo reported Sunday.
Riots and gang violence in Honduran and other Central American prisoners is common and often attributed to the chronic overcrowded conditions.
