At least six inmates gunned down in Venezuela General Penitentiary
According to their statements, the shots followed the tear gas and buckshot used to dislodge members of the prisoners' families who refused to leave the penitentiary in protest against the delay in bringing trials to court that were already long overdue.

Holding people without trial and then shooting when the families protest? Sounds like something the Bushwhacks would do.
