Three dead in new Mexican prison riot

At least three inmates died in a new riot at a northern Mexican prison where 49 others were killed in a massive brawl four months ago.
Another 14 were injured at the Topo Chico prison late Wednesday, with five of them in serious condition, Nuevo Leon state's interior secretary Manuel Gonzalez said.
Some 25 state police officers threw tear gas at the prisoners and brought the situation "under control," he said.
No officers were hurt, Gonzalez added without providing more details about the riot.
The deadly clash in February was prompted by a power struggle between rival leaders of the Zetas drug cartel who fought over control of the penitentiary.

Raiding prison cells days after the brawl, the authorities found luxury items including aquariums, flat-screen televisions, portable saunas and even a bar.

State authorities declared that they had retaken control of the facility after transferring several inmates to other prisons and detaining the warden.
Mexican prisons have been hit by several clashes and escapes in recent years. In February 2012, 44 inmates died and another 30 escaped during a riot in another Nuevo Leon prison.
The National Human Rights Commission issued a report in April saying inmates govern themselves in 71 state prisons.
President Enrique Pena Nieto vowed to reform the country's penitentiary system after the notorious drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaped from a maximum-security prison in July 2015.
