May 3. A prison riot in Venezuela has left at least 40 dead and 50 others injured including Warden.

Prisoners at the Llanos Penitentiary Center in Guanare demanded that their relatives be allowed to deliver food to them. When guards refused, inmates started to protest.

The situation quickly escalated, leading to an armed confrontation that resulted in the death of a National Guard officer, who was wounded by an explosion, and the warden, who suffered a knife wound.

Venezuela has roughly 30 prisons and 500 jails that can hold an estimated 110,000 inmates.
