[Mexico:]Nuevo Laredo prison warden shanked to death
The Monitor ^ | Mar 15, 2011 | Ildefonso Ortiz

The warden of the Nuevo Laredo prison was stabbed to death Monday during a riot inside the facility, authorities confirmed. The stabbing took place at the same facility where 153 inmates escaped in December.

Rebeca Nicasio Vasquez, was killed about 4:45 p.m. Monday during a riot while she conducted a tour of the facilities, according to a release from the Tamaulipas Governor’s Office.

Shortly after the stabbing, authorities detained 24-year-old Pedro Bernabe Hernandez Marcial, an inmate who was serving a sentence for burglary.

The woman was allegedly stabbed four times and died shortly after.

Nicasio Vasquez had recently assumed the head of the prison after the previous warden; Efrain Hernandez Llamas disappeared Dec. 17 — the same day that 153 inmates broke out of the prison.

Shortly after the breakout, Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office arrested 41 jailers in connection with the case.

Isn't "during a riot" generally considered a bad time to "conduct a tour" ?

Or am I misunderstanding something?

Mexico needs some strategically placed missiles.

Unfortunately, our zero and Mexico's zero are in league to take out America, thus ... there is no relief for the Mexican people from the insanity.

I guess the “Put your trust in the Lord, you’re ass belongs to me” speech didn’t take.

At the first sign of shanking, hit the 19th hole...

Ok, but seriously....Mexico, is becoming a whole lot like Italy was like in the late 70s early 80s when dealing with the mob. Or, like Columbia years ago when confronting the drug lords. For Mexico to regain control, it’s going to take the military, police, and the judicial system to work together.

Bordering a nation out of control, and meanwhile having a political party in our own country that wants to ignore the problem, and tie our hands behind our own backs, makes this even worse. If Republicans were smart, they’d be running commercials regarding this as a national safety concern. This isn’t even just a border state concern, as the crime and social costs effect virtually every state in the union.

A female prison warden? I didn’t know that Mexico had affirmative action just like us.

Send em to Utah. Utah wants to give them amnesty. Maybe they can “shank” some of the Mormon politcians in UT who voted for amnesty. Send all illegals to Utah.

Nuevo Laredo is the Mexican state with which the new Utah amnesty bills set up a relationship whereby Utah businesses can directly hire illegal alien workers from Mexico. They ought to get some real gems from there.

Why is a female in charge of a male prison? Seriously - that’s a BAD idea.

Since the last warden disappeared in December 2010, I'm guessing they couldn't find another male with the cojones to take the job?
