Mexico: ‘El Chapo’ Jailbreak Reveals Broken Mexican System

  • 9 years ago
After the jailbreak of Mexico’s most powerful drug lord, lawmakers are convinced that the getaway was an inside job, since it required detailed knowledge of the facility. Many are calling for a reevaluation of the country’s prison system. For UNAM professor John Ackerman, the escape is a symptom of a larger broken Mexican political system. The credibility of the Mexican government is in pieces, he says, as has been evidenced in the Ayotzinapa case, as well. The people simply do not believe government explanations. teleSUR
