Luxuries found in Mexican prison where 49 were killed in riot

MONTERREY, Mexico — Vast luxuries such as saunas, a bar, food stands and appliances were discovered by authorities entering a prison in northern Mexico to investigate a riot that killed 49 inmates.

Nuevo Leon state authorities said in a statement late Sunday that the cells inside Monterrey's Topo Chico prison were outfitted with mini fridges, air conditioners, digital cable and aquariums. There were 280 food and grocery stands where inmates could buy goods.

The riot broke out Thursday between two rival factions of the Zetas drug cartel.
