GUATEMALA CITY —

Police say inmates at a Guatemalan juvenile prison killed one of their teachers during a riot and ripped his heart out.

Police spokesman Donald Gonzalez says the prisoners took three of their teachers hostage to protest the transfer of several of their fellow inmates to another detention center.

He says they killed one of the teachers, Winter Vidaurre, and tore out his heart before police regained control of the prison using tear gas.

The violence erupted Tuesday at the Stage 2 detention center. It was unclear how old the rioters were. Of the 62 prisoners, 32 reached adulthood while incarcerated.

I don't think people incarcerated in juvenile prison get to have trade relations with anyone, daydream.

But even so --omg.

This is why Guatemalan gangs are such a menace in the United States. They are worse than the Russian mafia for brutality. And people wonder why death squads rise up in South and Central America to keep the peace. Go Go death squads!

Well, no more lessons for them. I suggest private dark holes for each of the rioters until they die of natural causes.

Should be called a Used to be Juvenile Prison. I heard the oldest inmate is 48 years old.

The extract of human depravity. Lockdown with no privileges and diminished caloric intake until the culprits are identified, convicted, and put to death.
