A prison break is currently unfolding at Haiti’s only female prison.
“The situation is confirmed, there is a huge tension at the prison,” Pierre Rene, a Haiti National Police prison official told the Miami Herald.
Rene, who was hurried, did not provide any details. But multiple sources confirm that at least one police officer was injured and one prisoner died during the incident. Initial reports are that most of the women escaped from the facility located in Cabaret, just north of Port-au-Prince.
