Death toll in Bolivia prison clash 31 THE death toll from a Bolivia prison battle has risen to 31 after an inmate died in hospital. Most victims of the Friday battle among rival gangs were inmates but a one-year-old toddler died along with his father. Bolivian law allows children six and younger to stay with their parents in prison. Another 60 people were injured in the clash at Palmasola maximum-security prison outside the regional capital of Santa Cruz. Authorities say inmates in one cell block attacked a neighbouring cell block with knives, machetes and canisters of gas. Jorge Perez, a government vice minister, says the bodies are being taken to a hospital morgue to undergo autopsies and be identified.
