In January, days after a crackdown by Mexican President Vicente Fox on
corruption at the La Palma jail near Mexico City, a full-page ad appeared in
the daily newspaper Reforma, supposedly placed by higher-profile inmates, who,
according to the ad, were now suffering under "subhuman" conditions, treated
"like dogs, like animals, like we are worthless ... scum of society." What the
government had done was to confiscate the drug lords' and organized-crime
leaders' big-screen TVs, computers and cell phones (which they were using to
retain control of their operations from behind bars), break up their prison
rackets, and even end their personal pizza deliveries. [Reuters, 1-31-05]
