Riot at the Grey Bar Hotel in TJ.
Rioting broke out at the La Mesa Penitentary during visiting hours on Sunday. The inmates rioted because of the alleged torture and killing of an
inmate. Several inmates have died in the ensuing riots. Hostages have been taken. In the confusion, some inmates may have escaped wearing guard
uniforms. There are at this time many people still inside who came to visit.

Around 8-9 years ago, I got jambed-up in Rosarito for breaking a guy's window. The local police were going to send me there if I didn't sign a
confession.
I signed.

I have talked to people that have been there. It's like a little city where you can buy anything from drugs to sony camcorders. Prostitutes are run
through that place nightly. They had at one time a area where your family could live with you in the prison, for a price. If you have money to spend
you get treated like a king.

I visited a couple of buddys in the Mazatlán prison in the mid-60s and that's the way it was there as well. The biggest baddest, they called him the
president, had control of everything. My friends had a cell to themselves with good stereo equipment etc. because they could pay the president. he
actually had a small farm with with veggies and chickens running all over the place. Nobody would bother the chickens unless they wanted to take its
place in the pot.
Compared to the pictures of La Mesa, it actually seems civilized.

Those days are history. No room for private suites now. You still have to buy things to make it liveable but only conjugal visits are permitted.
20-30 men in a cramped cell. I'm surprised this stuff doesn't happen daily.
..and if you have mucho money to burn- you wouldn't be in prison in Mexico in the first place for to long- no matter what you did to get there.

Nobody deserves that.
