At least 44 inmates were killed in Ecuador's latest prison riot, yesterday. The uprising started in the morning and ended in the afternoon when more than 200 police commandos retook control of the maximum-security wing of the Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas prison.

The most recent prison uprising was last month, in which 20 inmates were killed. (
