Brazil: 46 inmates break out of prison in Natal

A total of 46 inmates escaped from a public prison in the northern Brazilian city of Natal early 12 January, in the largest single prison break in the history of the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The inmates, the majority of which are held on charges of theft, escaped through a tunnel dug into the ground, which directors of the Raimundo Nonato prison said measured 131ft long. Jan 13, 2016
