El Excelsior: "The Federal Police performed an unannounced search through
the facilities of a Tabasco
(Creset) Prison which uncovered cell phones, alcohol, drugs, and even sharp
weapons.
The surprise search at the State Center
for Social Rehabilitation took place yesterday afternoon, where federal agents
also subdued an attempted mutiny.
The operation passed largely without incident, although a
mutiny attempted by a group of prisoners was reported. Police sources claimed,
however, that the uprising was controlled without problems or injuries.
Since sunrise, the perimeter of the penitentiary’s grounds
have been cordoned off by more than 150 officers of various police agencies. Access
to the prison by visitors and attorneys has also been restricted.
After finishing the search, the authorities reported that
they had seized 400 grams of marijuana, 200 grams of cocaine, three cell
phones, eight sharpened weapons, several liters of tepache (ed. note: a
traditional Mexican alcoholic drink), as well as clothes and shoes from the
inmates." Spanish original
