[ahlam1399]

SAO PAULO: Nine inmates were killed, 14 were injured, and dozens escaped in a prison riot on Monday, national news media reported, in the latest example of Brazil´s continuing difficulties maintaining control over its notoriously violent penal system. According to newspaper O Estado de S~A£o Paulo, 106 prisoners escaped the prison in the city of Goi~A¢nia, near the capital of Brasilia. Authorities recaptured 27 of the escapees, but the rest remained at large. One of the nine killed in the mayhem was decapitated, news media reported, sparking memories of a prison riot that occurred one year ago today in the Amazon in which 56 people died, several of whom were decapitated and thrown over prison walls.
