The Mexican government has announced the construction of a new prison in the state of Sinaloa, plagued by violence linked to drug trafficking, following two clashes in the Mazatlán penitentiary that caused the death of 12 people.

Acting Governor Graciela Domínguez Nava said in a statement that the project will be financed with federal resources and is part of the joint efforts of President Claudia Sheinbaum and her administration to strengthen the state's prison system.

Yesterday the federal secretary for Security, Omar García Harfuch, stated on X that the new facility will be "modern, safe and equipped with the necessary infrastructure to strengthen prison control and help reduce violence in the state".

The announcement came after a violent brawl that took place on Friday in the "El Castillo" prison in Mazatlán, which claimed the lives of two inmates. The incident followed another accident that occurred the day before in the same facility, in which nine inmates and a two-year-old child visiting a family member lost their lives, while 16 other inmates were injured.

Open Questions

  • What will be the construction timescales of the new prison?
  • How will immediate safety measures be improved in existing facilities?
