MEXICAN PRISONERS ESCAPE AND MAY BE COMING TO U.S.

Around 150 inmates escaped, 12/17/2010, from a state prison in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico, on the border of Laredo, Texas. The "authorities" said the breakout was done with the aid of prison employees.  141 of the inmates got out via a service exit used by vehicles with staff assistance. The director of the prison is not talking and is "under investigation."

The escaped prisoners were a mixture of state and federal criminals.

Mexican prisons are very different than American prisons. In Mexico, prisoners rule by gangs inside prisons more fiercely than we experience in the U.S.
