Inmates Shift Hunger Strike Demands in Mexico
Inmates in Mexico and Latin prisoners enter the second week of a hunger strike and vow to stop drinking water to pressure officials to free parolees. Edward Mize, 40, from Lubbock, said he has lost over five pounds after joining the strike at Santa Mara prison. About 500 prisoners, most jailed on drug charges, seek parole before Congress adjourns, warning of stricter enforcement if not met. They have appealed to President Jose Lopez Portillo for intervention.
