The truth is that colonialism was responsible for the more than 350 young Raza burned to death at La Granja penitentiary in Comayagua

Statement by the Chicano Mexicano Prison Project (CMPP). Feb. 24, 2012

On Tuesday night, February 14th, 2012, the world experienced one of the worst prison fires in history. At least 357 prisoners were burned to death in a fire a La Granja penitentiary in Comayagua, Honduras.

Those who witnessed the fire described the worst type of human suffering imaginable. For hours –burning, suffocating, and screaming men could be heard.

Survivors described horrific scenes of prisoners being burned alive as they sought to escape by climbing walls and breaking the sheet metal roofing. When rescue crews entered the prison compound, they found prisoners literally stuck to the roofing -their bodies bounded like glue to the metal.

Bodies were found in bathrooms, showers, and sinks, where inmates fled hoping the water would save them from the flames. Prisoners died tangled together in bathtubs and laundry sinks. “It was something horrible,” said survivor Eladio Chica. “I only saw flames, and when we got out, men were being burned, up against the bars, they were stuck to them.”
