5 prison inmates die in Nuevo Laredo

A total of five prison inmates died Sunday in a Nuevo Laredo prison, according to Mexican government news releases and press accounts.

The Centro de Ejecucion de Sancciones (CEDES) in Nuevo Laredo was the scene where a brawl erupted among inmates using handmade knives Sunday afternoon.

The dead were identified as Alejandro Flores Charles, José Torres Garcia, Gerardo Javier Colunga Padron and José Juan Antonio Carvajal.  News accounts say three inmates had claimed alleged responsibility for the deaths.  They were identified as Pablo Zamarripa Guerrero, Oscar Velez Andrade and José Angel Vazquez Presa.

The four victims had entered the prison only one day before they were killed.

A second incident at the prison involved a female inmate identified as Adriana Yacare del Toro Lopez, 23.  Toro Lopez was found hanged in her cell Sunday afternoon.  She had entered the prison only one day before her death.

The CEDES in Nuevo Laredo has seen a large increase in the number of prison inmates as prisoners from two separate prisons in Tamaulipas state were closed and heir inmates transferred to the Nuevo Laredo CEDES.

March 9th the CEDES in Ciudad Mante was closed with its 179 prisoners moved to the CEDES in Nuevo Laredo late last week, while the CEDES in Miguel Aleman was closed just a few days before.

The Miguel Aleman prison was closed only days following a mass prison break where armed suspects forced the release of 12 inmates at gunpoint.

  4. Gracias Z40 por eliminar a estas alimanas. Nuevo Laredo esta canzado de tantos asaltos, secuestros y pagos de piso. Y las autoridades no hacen nada, nada mas recibiendo el pago por dejarlos que hagan desmadre.
    Yo se que tu grupo no se entiende de ganar dinero a este nivel
    El dinero que deja por el contrabando a EU es mas que suficiente para molestarse en poca feria.
    Hace un mes que queria pedirte ayuda puesen N. Laredo es imposible vivir aqui y tu siendo de aqui en realidad necesitamos tu ayuda pues las autoridades y Benja no hacen nada.
    Gracias por todo tu vecino de infancia

  6. maybe they were not part of a cartel and just a kidnapping ring.....that answer's why they got killed in the prison in Nuevo Laredo.....

  7. That's the best way to get rid of these scums.
    Put them inside prison cells with their deadly enemies.
    Or just hang them from the cell bars.
    They deserve it.

  8. according to VxT another man who was executed yesterday in Nuevo Laredo was another member of this group of kidnappers killed in prison...so they were killed by the zetas, but I have trouble to believe an independent group of kidnappers were in the area without permission from the local cartel, they must have either failed to pay them their share or kidnapped the wrong person or once 4 of them had been detained they all had to be put down to avoid trouble?

  11. I saw Vincent Brown in CEDES on television on Lockdown recorded in 2010. no idea where he is now though. he was looking at 22 years

  12. I saw Vincent Brown on Lockdown too and was deeply disturbed by the inhumane treatment he was receiving as a mentally ill person and amputee. I also wonder about the details of his case because he did not seem mentally fit to stand trial at the time the show was filmed and had no handle of the Spanish language. I wonder if these factors influence the outcome of the case. This man needs medical attention if he is not yet getting it. There is nothing online indicating his whereabouts. I can only hope he has it better now than he did at Cedes. Regardless of their crime, people with mental illness need to receive proper medical care.

    1. You all know that where Vincent is locked up, is not America? If he was in Italy..... His family would have to bring him food in prison due to the prison doesn't feed the prisoners. The American Government is not watching his case, or care on what is happening to him. As far as they are concern..... He is no longer an American citizen for the next 22 years......

  13. I just saw the episode and saw Vincent Brown. I really want to know what has become of him.

  14. I too am interested in knowing Vincent Brown is doing. After watching the lockdown episode on National Geographic it was obvious that he had severe mental impairments. I don't know the details of his crime, but it seems that he was sentenced to 22 years and does not have the ability to even comprehend is it in so much less do that amount of time with his mental impairment and his Loss of his leg. an update on him would be appreciated too many people who worry about those with such difficulties in life. my only hope is that the US consulate knows his situation and is keeping a close watch over his well being while in prison. don't misinterpret the judge must have had a good reason to send him to the maximum of 22 years for a rape and if he raped somebody then he deserves to pay the price for his actions. but that does not mean you can be ignorant to his obvious mental impairments. may God watch over his victim in their recovery and him while he does his time.

  15. Just saw the episode on lockdown, and turned to google in hopes of learning of any improvements to Vincent Browns care. As I was also disturbed by the lack of medical care that he received. Hoping his situation has improved.

  17. Vincent Brown case needs consulate attention to make sure he was not wrongly convicted based on his nationality,race or inability to understand Spanish,we give illegals here all this help we spend billions to make sure Mexican nationals here get fair treatment so expect the same for all americans especially disable one,so one needs to check on him and review his case .

  19. I would also like to know what has happened with Vincent! I feel heartbroken for him. He obviously isn’t all there and it’s such a dangerous place. Is there any way we Can help him?!

  20. Well, add my comment to those who came looking to know what happened with Vincent. I watched LockDown on 9/30/2018 and I was shocked and disgusted at how they handled this AMERICAN citizen. He was clearly not mentally fit to stand trial and I honestly think they rail roaded him Definitely. He doesn't speak English and he has the mind of a 4 year old. How TF did he get convicted? I'm sure someone looked at his case, looked at him and said GUILTY. THIS IS JUST WRONG. I will be looking into this. Trust me.
