Murderous prison gangs in an overcrowded jail in the state of Maranhão, north eastern Brazil, left 10 dead and 30 injured in a violent uprising on Thursday.
Rioting broke out in the Pedrinhas Penitentiary Complex in the city of São Luis between rival factions and spilled out into the city centre, where marauding supporters torched seven buses and besieged the local hospital.
The mutiny started after several prisoners refused to allow wardens to carry out an inspection of their cells. The situation rapidly escalated into a confrontation between the officers and the detainees.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
