Dead in Bolivia prison, alcohol distillery found

At least six detainees were killed in Bolivia during a confrontation with the police.

The situation escalated on Wednesday when some two thousand police officers entered the Palmasola prison. They found firearms there, an alcohol distillery and drugs. It is not the first time that deadly riots occur in prison. By fighting between detainees, dozens of people died in 2013.

The government had recently ordered that dozens of children be removed from prison. They lived there with their parents. There would have been child prostitution.
