Mexico Opening Super Maximum Security Prisons for Cartel Members

The Associated Press is reporting that special prisons will be constructed to hold high ranking Cartel members who've been arrested. One just opened in the state of Veracruz and another is under construction in the state of Sinaloa.

In Mexico City, the federal Public Safety Department announced the opening of a "super-maximum" security prison to hold Mexico's most dangerous criminals in Veracruz state.

Another prison will be built in Sinaloa state featuring a special section for kidnappers. Sinaloa is home to Mexico's violent Sinaloa cartel.

Officials gave no further details on the prisons.

Hopefully more details will be forthcoming, as I think this is pretty interesting news. You can read the rest of the article in The Washington Times.
