"Revealed: Luxury Lifestyle and Weapons in Ecuador Prison"
TL;DR
Soldiers and police in Ecuador discovered a prison in Cotopaxi with a secret luxurious setup including a pool, nightclub, double beds, designer clothes, and other amenities for well-off inmates. The raid comes as the government battles to regain control of prisons influenced by notorious gangs, with President Daniel Noboa declaring a 60-day State of Emergency allowing military intervention. The discovery follows the escape of gang leader José Villamar and a surge in gang-related violence, prompting proposed security referendum questions that were partially blocked by Ecuador's Supreme Court.
