Colombia is grappling with a new front of violence after a mutiny in one of its largest prisons resulted in the death of its warden, effectively carrying out a threat that the warden had received last week.
The incident follows a decision by the government to declare a "prison emergency" amid increased riots, homicides and attacks against personnel in facilities across the country. The director of the country's prison system told EFE news agency that over 550 death threats have been recorded so far.
