The country’s president blamed the riot on “mara” street gangs that often wield broad power inside penitentiaries.

Most victims were burned but there also were reports of inmates shot or stabbed at the prison in Tamara, about 30 miles northwest of the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa, said Yuri Mora, the spokesman for Honduras’ national police investigation agency. Honduran President Xiomara Castro said the riot was “planned by maras with the knowledge and acquiescence of security authorities.”Dozens of anxious, angry relatives gathered outside the prison; located in a rural area about 20 miles from the capital.
Julissa Villanueva, head of the country’s prison system, suggested the riot started because of recent attempts by authorities to crack down on illicit activity inside prisons and called Tuesday’s violence a reaction to moves “we are taking against organized crime.”Gangs wield broad control inside the country’s prisons, where inmates often set their own rules and sell prohibited goods.
