Does anyone else find this odd? I read it and was kinda at a loss for words. I still can't figure out how the inmates can do all this but they don't just leave.

FRAIJANES, Guatemala (Reuters) -- Security forces took over a Guatemalan prison controlled for more than 10 years by inmates who produced drugs, lived in spacious homes with luxury goods and even rented space for stores and restaurants.

The prisoners must have had American lawyers.

I just noticed this part...

Zepeda earned around $25,000 a month from extortion and drug trafficking run from inside the prison, police said. His son Samuel lived illegally inside the prison to help run the crime empire, even though he was never sent there by a court.

Holy crap that place is screwed up.

wow... Ya think they would just leave, but then again running drug empires from inside that fence not only kept them in but kept others from getting in to them.

It also allows the government to pretend that they have the bad guys under control. Besides, there's plenty of drug money to go around.

I think Pablo Escobar designed his own prison when he was 'incarcerated' in Colombia. It's a joke.
