"Haiti's Main Prison Overrun by Gangs, Resulting in Massive Jailbreak and Dozens Dead"

Thousands of inmates escaped Haiti’s main prison in Port-au-Prince after armed gang members overtook the facility, leaving it nearly empty with only a few remaining behind bars. At least five people were killed in the coordinated attacks, and a second prison in the city also encountered a jailbreak. The embattled Prime Minister Ariel Henry was out of the country during the attacks, and the government has urged citizens to stay vigilant. The prison held several gang leaders before it was stormed, and the situation reflects an increasingly dire state following weeks of coordinated gang violence and attacks on critical institutions in the country.
