Bro, imagine being stuck in a prison and the guy trying to kill you has a gun...

[danechristmas]

Now THIS is the CNN I grew up with back in the 90's.

[book_cake]

imagine seeing fireworks comming from a prison 💀💀

[MrInsurance]

took 4000 troops to move this guy? thats insane

[Sire]

That's embarrassing for a whole country

[blackdacode]

Dude is probably living better in prison than most of us out here😭😭

[patestrella]

Corruption is the main problem in Ecuador.

[nedofranc]

CNN always does a good job when it doesn't affect their country or interests. Good reporting.

Bro he was in prinson shooting music videos😮 that's a whole nother level of power smh, that goes to show that the governement really supports him. Shit he's basically the president of Ecuador

It seems the Ecuadorian Government doesn't take Incarceration very seriously. They have spent $MILLIONS of dollars to build a facility to hold all sorts of people but then they treat it like a Summer Camp. It doesn't look much like "punishment" to me.

[briankigochi]

😂😂 This is so crazy on too many levels!!

[marcosreyes]

It's troubling to think many of those men in prison for being in a gang were probably forced into the gang with no other options. Either join or die.

[PokemanEvolution]

How tf did they get fireworks going for a damn prisoner 😂 😭

[madiezancanellatl]

Every family has that one person who will break the family financial struggle, I hope you become the one😊

[Dsexh_dsexh]

I guess politicians in Ecuador are deathly afraid of that man

[robertpamela]

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

[andresviruez]

This makes the country, the government and president look really can people let this happen. They don't deserve respect.

[mradventurer]

The guards could be masked. In this way they remain more anonymous and the gangs can't put pressure on them as easily because they can't be easily recognized?

[xJNATHANx]

The prisoners didn't build the room that he was in. That was done by the higher ups. Why is the focus on the prisoners and not the wardens or president 🤔
