HONDURAS: Prison massacres revive overcrowding issue
Two successive prison massacres in Honduras within the span of a
single week have revived concern about a problem that appears to defeat all

judiciary brings inmates to trial, aggravated in recent years by the large-scale
arrests of street gang members.
