Prison riot

Fighting erupted among inmates at a prison in the northern state of Amazonas on Sunday, and at least 15 people died before the riot was brought under control, authorities said. The state prison secretary said that prisoners began fighting among themselves, and security reinforcements were rushed to the Anisio Jobim Prison Complex in the state capital of Manaus. The same prison was the scene of a severe riot in January 2017 that killed 56 people.
