Deadly Gang Violence Sparks Multiple Prison Riots in Honduras

A prison riot broke out in Honduras after rival gangs Barrio 18 and MS-13 clashed, leaving 46 inmates dead. The gangs managed to smuggle weapons into the prison, and some of the victims had no ties to either gang. The riot is the deadliest at a female prison detention center in Central America since 2017. The Honduran President promised to take "drastic measures" against organized crime and dismantle the boycott against security fostered from inside prisons.
