Riots have broken out at three separate prisons in Ecuador, leaving at least 75 inmates dead.
Officials blamed the riots at detention facilities in the cities of Guayaquil, Cuenca and Latacunga on disputes between rival gangs.
Hundreds of police are trying to regain control of the prisons , which are home to 70 percent of the country’s inmate population.

🇺🇸USA border is open now !!!!! In case they catch you, US jails have better food and condition, and dont detain for long … time to march !!!!!
Rip 🙏
Question is how they got guns?
I mean it’s look like plan….
self build
@Besonderertypkappa nah,guards are corrupted and intimidated by these gangs,it’s how they keep from being victims themselves.nothing homemade about machetes and long kitchen knives or the guns they used.
MORE PEOPLE KILLED IN SOUTH AMERICA THAN ANY WHERE ELSE
Prisons are supposed to rehabilitate, not harden inmates. Therein lies the problem. In fact, upon being released from prison, inmates sort of earn a degree to be better at committing crimes and getting away, they learn material science on the best equipment to use to break into an ATM, establish connections with powerful gangs, learn marketing skills for cocaine etc. Anyways RIP!
there is no rehabilitation 🙏
マフィア恐いなぁ、とづまりすとこ。
What
Now how can we imprison prisoners in prisons? I prefer open prisons if given a choice. Been to both. Open prisons are more like strict schools, while supermaxes are like gulags. How’s your experience?
latin america is not norway 🙏
You realized some psycho literally held a cut off head for a video.And others kept passing it ,it’s horrible!
@nycbass78 or holding a beating heart on hand and laughing for these people should be no mercy.
I’m sad that this prisons doesnt have a OIL, they cant taste american freedom.
21
Level of violence and murder in Latin America is horrendous.
It’s a murderous region.
@Serenity egypt is very bad 🙏
@Biobele i obviously can’t. I don’t know every flag in the world.
Just like the Tigray region
Given how other countries are governed, I want protected borders and the enforcement of immigration law.
Consumption of narcotics around the first world creates these conditions.
They Know Dam Well the Prisons are Overloaded with too many Prisoners..If they Cant seperate Gangs into different UNits Then its the Prison and the Governments Fault…All Deaths should be Blamed on the Ecudorian Government!
The gangs run the prisons because of political corruption… The whole system is designed around it… Saying this community has a problem with this, or that country has a problem with that… Only allows people to shift blame where they want it… Learn to speak the truth, the whole culture is simply unable to govern itself by Western standards… the Ecuadorian Government is a symptom of the problem…. not the cause of it.
@Corwin Chelway you mean prisoner has more power than president 🙏
First time i am hearing country called ecador
Oh god 😂
Nice to see that you finally came out under your rock. 🤨
Ironic that your name is “incredible world”
@Modi Superpooper 2020 🐕
Is because you probably are ignorant ? Lol People man and is ironic your name is “incredible world? Which world you talking about ? Lol
6500 migrants worker from India Pakistan, Bangladesh and srilanka died in Qatar but this propaganda media is silent
Any source?
Link?
Fake news
Is this a legit news?
died where? , in your dreams? , lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus! Humans at their worst
If these are the type of gangsters that you have to deal with inside of prisons, giving them a second chance, paying their maintenance and giving them food doesn’t seem worth it. Remove them and withdraw the risk of recidivism, instead.
Capital Punishment for Murderers and Paedos then you wouldn’t have over-crowding
@Tonio O’Neill most prisoners are neither
@James Morton are you sure about that? There are videos of people laughing at dead people and playing with their organs from what happend yesterday, those people are not ok
@franco Gonzalez they literally butcher other prisoners…
Ecuador is now ISIS land?
75 prisioners could have easily fought security and escape the prison.
@Fausto Ortega can you tell more? I saw videos of their actions… It made me sick.
@M Nowak where can you see the videos of the riots in Ecuador in the 3 different prisons??
@GoodToGo Lifestyle I got videos from my friend from Ecuador privately
@M Nowak which gang was fighting who?
They even have cell phone
I don’t see how this could escalate?
They already brought in the police/swat/military. They’ve already made a perimeter. Just move in on one location and squeeze them out.
Say have a staging area as the entrance of the prison and as the troops move in. Just give permission to use live rounds and ask anyone they encounter to surrender.
Ask each individual they encounter 3 times. “Drop their weapons and slowly walk backwards to the troops.”
If they comply, perform a search then move the convict to another prison.
If they refuse, shoot them. These are not civilians. Those who want to get out of the place will gladly follow the instructions and will disarm and surrender.
Those that are left will likely cause more problems in the future. So safer for everyone to shoot to kill.
Go in, room by room, area by area. Ask 3 times. Do they drop their weapon and follow instructions to surrender, if not, shoot. Either way that room is cleared of any threats.
This is better than going in guns blazing as this might kill those convicts who want nothing to do with the riot.
That’s bs, they need to take responsibility because if they are in their prison they are responsible for their safety, but it sounds like thats not a concern for them
What… hahha stfu
@IVAN ENHACED yea upon reading your past replies to other videos you seem like a very troubled person with a bad attitude so I won’t even attempt to properly reply to your hateful comments your just a waste of time
Gangsterism is a mental disease caused by lack of self esteem coupled with bullying tendencies.
Lack of self esteem which is brought on by fatherless upbringing plus abuse.
Here’s the thing. The prisoners are fighting for leadership in their criminal organizations. Being a leader has many perks. Total control being one of them. Protection and respect from their minions and from the guards themselves. The leaders corrupt the guards with money and drugs.
The guards allow weapons to be smuggled in. Now the prisoners feel more empowered.
Drugs, money, weapons, corruption, overcrowding, mismanagement of the prisons. These are the fuel for the riots. All that is needed is a spark. Just one serious incident can start it.
The Human Rights Commission is guilty of perpetuating these conditions by preventing proper punishments for criminals.
Governments should be culling the criminal population. It should be a continuus process until the prisoners who have committed serious crimes are all gone then there will be peace not only in the prisons but also on the streets

This can’t happen without the support of jail authorities.
you don’t know the conditions of south american prisions, a riot can happen at any moment
@liquidpebbles i hear that prison in Bali is peaceful
What happened in the prisons is a reflection of the corruption that Ecuador’s institutions are experiencing.
This happens in developed countries as in undeveloped countries. on a smaller scale but it still happens!!
@jack lal Venezuela what?
more in South America
California prisons.
@nycbass78 California is third world lol
in developed countries, prisons are better than some hotels ^^
Bien Ecuador resaltas en algo pero lastima que sea por muertes
Sorry too
Died 75; increible; prisioners group criminals of ecuador; the world is crazy and zoobies so much
Are 79 now
how sad and horrible. The government of Lenin Moreno has been the worst in the history of Ecuador, everywhere there is corruption, robbery, massacre and death. Lenin Moreno’s government has been satanic; of the deep state; illuminati. Satanics (Luciferians) are sadistic, degenerate, merciless, murderers, psychopaths, shameless, cynical, they are the worst that exists.
the government is so corrupt, they say they check but there are the mafias that send there .
El Gobierno Ecuatoriano el único responsable.
No mention of covid
Prisoners should be fined for not practicing Social Distancing
Prison staff are all bought off.
Welcomed to the neoliberal puppets rule by the Zionists
This should be made into a weekly event. This will be the new gladiator fight to rival that of old Rome
Let’s send you there to fight
@Milly May , been there, done that. How about you go this time?
с днем рождения, мой друг
@Dr. Metz Lafoy Sure you have
Who else saw the vid of the prisoner ripped that guys heart out
Why I would want to see that?
@Malik Ibi then don’t lmao
@4LaRaza That must’ve been graphic, yikes
@• Виолетта Шаламе • well they cut off the head with a kitchen knife that was impressive
Are these videos from the Ecuador prison riots from 2 days ago.
And where can we check them out?
Public Safety (Seguridad Pública)
And what exactly did all this violence accomplish?
All they did was make a bunch of bodies they didn’t even get any money for this and now they’re going to be locked up in their for their whole lives.
The prisoners couldn’t have amassed all these weapons without the prisons complacency and willingness to turned a blind eye
And somehow they’re in the wrong for being reckless, when you’ve got police shooting flares at inmates who can’t even fight back
@GHXST BEATS This is a jail,this situation totally needs absolute zero tolerance if you don’t comply,they should really enter where those psychopaths that cut off heads ,dismembered bodies a
Yet, they want to fault Mr Arizona for making his inmate’s change garments! You have to change the mental, get structured, weed out currupt cops involved with Gangs, start treating them like you do your military! Every prisoner will participate or Else!
You guys even have phone in prison?
Corruption
Dude. . . Put me in there the rest of my life as long I have IOS/Android with wifi and free food I’m fine

Lots of prison In places like Ecuador are run by the inmates so safety and peace generally gets enforced by gang leaders, Zambrano who was the leader of the Choneros was shot in a cafeteria so they’re fighting for leadership of the detention centres. I’m sure it’s three different prison that are currently rioting
These South American prisons are a different level.
im from ecuador lol
If you do not want to die in prison do not go to prison if you do not want to die by the gangs fight do not became gang member.Should I continue?Be well.
This is really good news less criminals to feed and more safe for everyone else who has good conduct
I see reasons for wanting protected borders and the enforcement of immigration law.
The best way to save tax payer money
Who else thinks out of the 62 deaths, a few of the mafia bosses fake death and managed to escape free?
They most certainly did :/
its ecuador , anything can happen
Did anyone notice the amount of books on hitler there was on the bookshelf behind the man in the suit
There are a lot of books of several people.
To understand something you have to read it first. I saw a book about Stalin and trust me Stalin was worst than Hitler.
Ces l’incompétence des gouvernements ils savent pas géré des prisons et ces pas le seul pays qui vive comme. Des bêtes sa les rend plus féroce et Violent aucune discipline m’aime. En Europe tous des incompétent gardien de prison corrompu jusqu’à l’os tous le monde fait presque tous ce qu’il. Veulent après sa s’étonne pourquoi les détenu ne. Change pas pas toutes les prison mais beaucoup des directeurs trice sont incompétent dans une prison si Ilya pas de règle et discipline très strictes.les prison seront des dépotoirs a déchet
It’s not anymore a jail please!!!!How come they could kill 75 people and the guardians doesn’t do anything! I feel so sorry for those woman’s crying!
Narco gangs have made their way into Ecuador s jails.this level of cruel and vicious violence is unprecedented in that country .The gangs control the jails and inadequate security and resources.
I feel bad too but this narcos have come there because Ecuador doesn’t have tight security. They should definitely not let just anyone into the country. The videos going around you can tell there’s a mix of people from other countries. They play with someone’s head and heart and chopped peoples in front of the cameras and smack someone’s head until it exploded
Would the introduction of the death penalty for more serious crime free some prison space? Also forced labour could solve the problem by giving the prisoners something to do.
The curved tailor curiosly fax because aftermath cosmetically sniff past a ten cheetah. deeply, upbeat flood
Yes, l have to agree. Cringeworthy bookmarks falling inhibiting delusions for grandeur and not only that. Weights rolling past emit pseudorandom magnificent durations to foment squashness, right?
😔😔
typical South America
Seems like there’s always prison riots in South America lol but hey, every country has their flaws
lack some context: This happened because a narco leader was killed. Like any other country there are mafias from inside, with the guards involve, and now the two rival bands are fighting for control
This is exactly what happened.
@Penelope Sanchez this mean rival gang was wiped out completly?
@M Nowak it could be. I know one was a gang from Ecuador and the gang that this is it’s not from Ecuador is narcos.
You got more info about what happened in Ecuador??
I suggest to Aljazeera please start news in Hindi language .It will beneficiary for our prospect to understand the current issue .Name should be Aljazeera hindi news.excuse me
God will punish those criminals involved truly sad
Jail authority is responsible totally
What can I do to help?
For those surprised about the guns in prison, that is “normal” in these countries, the police is corrupted and we have learnt to live with it.
In south American continenta these type events happen s
I have seen the video what they have done
the brilliant president lerdin moreno reduce prison system budget, fired people of security, psychologists, infrastructure, etc.
Lottery round up and every 1-3 mean are put to death ,
The riot again? Well… get all the staff and gaurds out , and nerve gas them , the next round of inmate enter the prison system will know not to challenge the state
Oh My goshhhhh…
Fastest way to reduce sinners
Electoral fraud has been made, supported by the corrupt politicians of Ecuador. They must respect the popular vote of the Ecuadorian people. Yaku was elected by the majority of Ecuadorians. What happened in the prisons is a reflection of the corruption that Ecuador’s institutions are experiencing.
CELL PHONES AND WEAPONS IN THE PRISONS. WHEN SOMEONE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT AT ANY LEVEL IS ON THE TAKE. FOR WHAT THAT ONE CORRUPT COP ON THE TAKE IS DOING IS LIKE 1000 CIVILIANS COMMITTING CRIMES.
I feel so bad for Ecuador that they had to deal with that and all the family’s who had to were effected by this
Now they will try to repent but it’s now too late.
Let this be a warning that our life is short dont live for gangs like come on why would you waste your life for a gang.
Jesus is the only way the truth and the life and whoever believes in him will not perish but will have eternal life.
ecuadors my home I cant with this I don’t live there anymore but I feel terrible
