A prison riot in Mexico leaves 52 dead

Another day and more dead in Mexico.    It was a prison riot near Monterrey, the industrial city in the north of Mexico.    

 According to news reports, it was a clash between two gangs that set off the fire and the killings.   One of the groups was allegedly associated with Los Zetas.    

 This is the latest prison incident.   A recent study found that Mexican prisons are plagued with violence, corruption and inmates running the show.

 Can you say El Chapo escaping twice from prison?

 By the way, Pope Francis is going down to Mexico soon.   He will visit the border, as Fausta Rodriguez-Wertz pointed out.    It would be more useful for Pope Francis to call for legal rather than immigration reform for Mexicans.

 We spoke about this in Thursday's Latin America show:
