Authorities say a surprise search at a prison in Acapulco resulted in the discovery of two peacocks, 100 fighting cocks, two sacks filled with marijuana and 19 prostitutes.

Police in the Mexican resort city also found dozens of televisions, several bottles of alcohol and knives.

Arturo Martinez, the Guerrero state spokesman, said federal and state police searched the prison before dawn on Monday.

He did not say how the women, birds and other banned objects got into the prison, referring to the peacocks as "pets". Cockfighting is popular in parts of Mexico.

how the breakfast tacos are?

2. How all that stuff got into the prison is very simple

A drug lord tells a guard that the stuff is going to go into the prison and if the guard tries to stop it
they will murder his family.

7. If you got peacocks, you don't need guards

those birds are loud, and mean. Just like a movie with prison guards. (this bozo has not experienced a real prison guard. yet. )

4. That doesn't sound too bad.

What I mean is, if we're going to have a police society, guilty until proven innocent, where you can be jailed for holding a sign and looking crosseyed at a politician, then jail should at the very least be humane.
