(CNN) – At least 33 inmates are dead following a prison riot in northern Brazil on Friday, state-run media agency Agencia Brasil reported.
The riot took place at the Agricultural Penitentiary of Monte Cristo, in Brazil’s Roraima state in the Amazon.
The rioting in the prison began early Friday and military police officers entered the prison to bring the situation under control, according to Agencia Brasil.
In October, 25 people were killed at a riot at the same prison.
The latest incident follows a prison riot on Sunday. More than 50 prisoners were killed during a 17-hour uprising at the Anisio Jobim Prison Complex in the city of Manaus.
