A blood bathe has been recorded in a Mexican prison following incidents of riots and an inferno.

 
 
Dozens of people are reported to have been killed in a riot and a fire at a prison in northern Mexico.

The riot at the Topo Chico jail near the city of Monterrey broke out just after midnight.

Smoke was seen billowing from the complex but officials in Nuevo Leon State said the situation is now under control and no prisoners have escaped.

Crowds of people worried about relatives inside the jail blocked roads outside, demanding information.

“I want to know that my daughter is okay. She is in the infirmary. There are children in there,” one woman said.

The incident came just days before Pope Francis is due to visit a prison in the northern city of Ciudad Juarez, an area notorious for violence between drugs cartels.
