Mexican Prison Crackdown (2:45)
Although visitation rights are being slowly restored, many of the over 530 prisoners in one of Mexico’s largest maximum security prisons remain incommunicado after military and federal agents took control of the facility in a surprise raid last Friday morning. The Federal Secretary of Public Security stated that a number of powerful drug lords housed in La Palma were continuing to run their operations from their prison cells as well as directing a cartel war along the U.S./Mexico border. But as Vladimir Flores reports, drug traffickers were not the only prisoners subject to a crackdown.
