Guatemala’s penitentiary system has requested an investigation into over 100 prison guards on charges such as abuse of power, after a prison clean-out revealed hidden cash and pets. The investigation targets 102 guards from “El Infiernito” prison, located 50 miles south of the capital, which housed suspected Barrio 18 gang members.
