For four intense days, the prisoners held the guards hostage while their leaders negotiated with a citizens' committee of journalists and lawyers, drawing attention to the dehumanizing realities of their incarceration, including overcrowding, harsh punishment and extreme isolation. But when another group of convicts turned their pent-up rage towards some of the weakest prisoners, tensions inside the old stone walls erupted, with tragic consequences. As heavily armed soldiers prepared to regain control of the prison through a full military assault, the inmates were finally forced to surrender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMurder on the Inside\u003c\/i\u003e tells the harrowing story of a prison in crisis against the backdrop of a pivotal moment in the history of human rights.
