Guatemalan gangsters turn prison into resort? Police: Demolish all

Release time:Jun 03, 2024 15:43 PM

According to an Agence France-Presse report on June 2, Guatemalan police transferred more than 200 gang members from a prison on the 2nd. Previously, gangsters raised chickens in the prison, ran a call center for crime, and had a beautiful view of a crocodile lake from the prison.

Guatemalan officials said that about 400 police officers participated in the operation and transferred 225 members of the "18th Street Gang" from prison. These criminals had previously been able to use "luxuries" such as color TVs and refrigerators in prison.

"Prisons are once again in the hands of the state," Guatemalan Interior Minister Francisco Jimenez posted on social media.

He promised the facility would be demolished and rebuilt into a "true maximum security prison." "This is a prison, not a resort," Jimenez swore.

Official photos of the prison show that inmates can enjoy air conditioning. The prison involved is located in Escuintla, about 70 kilometers south of the capital Guatemala City.

The last time local police raided the prison, they destroyed a makeshift "call center." Criminals use this call center to carry out extortion and issue criminal orders.

In 2023, 4,361 people died from criminal violence across Guatemala, equivalent to 25 deaths per 100,000 residents, half of whom died from gang fighting and drug trafficking.

CCTV News: In recent days, the planting and transplanting work of Jiangxi Zhongdao is fully underway. In Ji'an City, some areas have adopted a new technology of "three in one" for rice planting this year, which means that a machine can simultaneously complete transplanting, fertilization, and spraying, which can effectively save costs and increase efficiency. This is a rice field in Aocheng Town, Ji'an County, Ji'an City, where several agricultural machines are working in the field. These machines look the same as regular rice transplanters from the appearance, but the agricultural machinery operator told reporters that two new parts have been installed on the machine - a side deep fertilization and spraying device, which can complete rice transplants, fertilization, and spraying in one go. Not only does it save labor costs, but it can also fertilize seedlings more accurately. The side deep fertilization device can apply fertilizer to the soil at a depth of 3-5 centimeters on the side of seedlings, so that fertilization will not cause excessive fertility and problems such as root rot.
