Haiti: Inmates killed in 3rd prison break this year DW 08/17/2024
Briefly

The situation is under control but the results are catastrophic. All the cops' dormitories have burnt down. The archives have burnt down. They've set everything on fire except their cells, confirmed state prosecutor Venson Francois.
Prison staff had gone on strike to demand better treatment, which has led state prosecutor Venson Francois to fear a 'mutiny,' hinting at potential collusion in the breakout.
Local government official Walter Montas stated that prisoners had been protesting due to a lack of food and poor health conditions, highlighting the dire state of the prison.
This incident represents the third prison escape this year in Haiti, with previous gang-led attacks having freed thousands of inmates and led to significant political consequences.
