| Chihuahua: Prison Director, Staff Resigns |
| 2010-07-02 |
| Google Translate. At the moment only the Mexican Daily la Polaka has this story... The director of a Chihuahua state prison facility near Juarez has resigned along with a large number of key staff, it was learned informally, according the Mexican news daily La Polaka. The Centro de Readaptación Social (CERESO) facility in Juarez has been the focus of a number of security incidents in the past 30 days, the most recent of which was the discovery of weapons and other contraband last Wednesday, as well as a murdered prisoner found yesterday. Ramón Quintana Villasana resigned Thursday along with a number of other department heads after receiving death threats. The prison currently has only a single inexperienced replacement for prison director and it is widely thought the facility is on the verge of another riot as a result. |
