All US federal prisons in lockdown after deadly gang fight
BBC News ^ | February 1, 2022

All federal prisons in the US have been placed on lockdown after a gang fight left two inmates dead at a facility in Texas.

Two other prisoners were seriously hurt in the violence at the high security Beaumont facility on Monday, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) said.

The violence at the Beaumont facility in Texas, which has a prison population of 1,372, reportedly involved members of the MS-13 street gang - a brutal group established in Los Angeles which has roots in El Salvador.

The two inmates who died were named as Guillermo Riojas, a 54-year-old who had been sentenced for violent crimes using a firearm, and Andrew Pineda, 34, who was said to be a member of a gang known as the Mexican Mafia.

No staff members at Beaumont were injured during Monday's fight, the BOP said.

A little overreaction: locking down all prisons because of one fight involving the gang members the US government is trafficking through the US.

Going to have to let them all out on the street, out of fear they may hurt themselves or others.

Sometimes you have to ask yourself if two dead violent gang bangers is a bad thing.

Issue a shiv to every violent-crime inmate. Turn em out in the yard. Leave em out there until they’re ready to behave.

They’re both horrible but the Mexican Mafia tends to focus their violence on other gangs/criminals only (yes, they there have been exceptions) whereas MS-13 is full of half-human third world garbage from Central America who would rob and rape grandma for $5. In fact, being a MS-13 member should be a capital offense.
