The fearsome drugs cartels of Honduras and El Salvador not only run large sections of the south American countries\u2019 cities they even control the prisons. The overcrowded and often violent jails are used as makeshift headquarters by gang bosses, says Honduran journalist Marcel Orsoto who admits: \u201cMost of the murder orders come from prisons, which is where the ringleaders are.<\/p>\n

"They order the extortion, murder and invasion of whole neighbourhoods due to the access to communication they have,\u201d Marcel added. Speaking to The Sun, he said that bosses of the ultra-violent MS-13 and Barrio 18 gangs control trade in booze, drugs and weapons in the hellhole lockups.<\/p>\n

Prison staff and even quite senior public officials live in gear of the gangs, he says, with the bitter rivalries between the two competing drugs cartels frequently erupting into violence behind bars.<\/p>\n

Marcel described how a riot at the Centro Femenino de Adaptacion Social, a women's penitentiary around 12 miles from the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa left 41 dead after an armed Barrio 18 hit squad broke in and started indiscriminately spraying the inmates with automatic weapons fire.<\/p>\n

The gangsters herded suspected MS-13 supporters into and enclosed area and lit a fire to prevent them from escaping. "There were bodies piled up in a bathroom, charred women who ended their last days in this world hugging, or others who ended up underneath their beds in their desperation to escape the flames,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

President Xiomara Castro said that prison guards had known in advance that gang members were planning the riot but did nothing to prevent it. She warned that she would take \u201cdrastic measures\u201d to try to end prison corruption.<\/p>\n
