“Four inmates died and more than 30 others were injured Sunday when a riot broke out at a prison in Ecuador, corrections officials in the South American country said. The riot stemmed from the ‘reorganization of inmates’ to a new maximum-security prison that will soon begin operating in a different province, according to a statement from Ecuador’s prison oversight agency. The violent incident happened less than two months after 14 inmates died at the same facility in what authorities described as a dispute between gangs.” (11/09/25)
