Overview
- Clips posted to social media show presumed inmates celebrating with women, beer and loud music in what appears to be the prison’s dining area, alongside a note dated October 28, 2025.
- The state Security Ministry said its Internal Affairs unit is investigating to determine where and when the recordings were made and who is responsible.
- Local reports and posts identify inmate Marco Antonio “El Pavón” and another prisoner nicknamed “El Jaguar” as alleged power brokers inside the facility linked to the gathering.
- Additional footage shared with media depicts purported luxury conditions and contraband, including a mini-fridge, multiple phones, a smartwatch and a private bathroom.
- Security chief Francisco Sánchez said the authenticity of the videos will be verified and noted financial temptations for custodial staff, while two inmate deaths in October under a new director have increased scrutiny of conditions.
