A new prison break has taken place in Haiti on Friday, this time in the city of St. Marc, north of the capital, Port-au-Prince. Local police have issued a notice, urging the public to report suspicious individuals resembling escaped detainees.
Images from videos posted on social media show prisoners climbing over walls and walking on streets alongside armed gang members, with black smoke rising from the prison facility. It remains unclear how many prisoners escaped, and the cause has yet to be confirmed. The St. Marc prison housed around 500 inmates in July.
