Desk Report: At least two members of the Venezuelan national guard and an inmate were killed after security forces launched a massive operation to retake control of the El Rodeo prison, where 22 people have been killed in rioting.
Some 1,300 inmates were backed into a part of the prison and refused to surrender late Friday after a day-long raid involving thousands of national guard troops managed to take over most the facility, gaining control of 70 percent of the prison population, estimated at around 4,700 inmates, officials said.
The prison, originally designed to hold just 750 prisoners, saw a deadly brawl last Sunday that left 21 prisoners and one visitor dead, and a portion of the inmates had retained control of most the facility since then.
In the raid Friday, security forces recovered rifles, shotguns, pistols and grenades, and seized drug stashes and over 100 cellphones, Venezuela’s deputy minister for public safety told reporters.
