Some Flee, Others Eat Cats In Prison Riot
<snip>

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) - Prisoners jumped from the walls of a Brazilian prison to escape an uprising in which inmates have butchered their foes, severed their heads and brandished them from the walls.

At least nine prisoners have been killed in five days of unrest at the Urso Branco (White Bear) prison in Rondonia state. Hungry prisoners have been reduced to hunting for cats to eat, a police spokesman said Thursday.

No breakthrough has been made in negotiations between the authorities and uprising leaders, who took over the prison on Sunday in a protest against overcrowding.

Riots are common in Brazil's prisons but this one has been particularly brutal.
