Guards 'stood by' during Mexico jailbreak
Security camera footage shows guards at a Mexican prison nonchalantly stood by as 53 dangerous inmates walked out – and didn’t rush into action with their guns drawn until well after their convoy of escape vehicles had disappeared into the night.
The footage, first published by Reforma newspaper yesterday and then released publicly by the Attorney General’s Office, provides a rare inside look at lax security inside Mexico’s prisons, a problem that makes prosecuting drug smugglers vastly more difficult.
