Love this heading on the front page of the BBC's website today -

 

Police entering a jail in Acapulco in Mexico are stunned to find 19 prostitutes and 100 fighting cocks among the inmates.

Cocks squaring up to one another is bad enough but what about this?

 

Police in Mexico have found eight decapitated bodies in the northern state of Durango.

Among the dead was the deputy governor of Durango's prison, who had been abducted on Monday.

Gerardo Galindo's head was found next to a wall bearing a threatening message by a local drug gang.

Prison officials are increasingly being targeted by drug gangs, whose jailed members often continue to run their businesses from behind bars.

In February, the security chief of a prison in the northern city of Monterrey was murdered.

His dismembered body was found in a plastic box inside a car abandoned near the prison he worked at.

Officials have not yet identified the remaining seven bodies found in Durango.

Sounds like what will happen in Thailand once the post-mortem on the floods begins in earnest

Well I just want to know one thing: how did they manage to smuggle in 100 loud, aggressive roosters? Unless they were kept in the kitchen for food or they maintained a prison farm, possibly? (if there even is such a thing).

 

Some guards somewhere were paid to look the other way!
