Rioting Inmates Hold 100 Hostages in Brazil Brazil's state news agency says that inmates armed with pistols and knives have rioted at a prison in the country's northeast and are holding about 100 visitors and two guards hostage. Agencia Brasil says no deaths or injuries have been reported. The report said negotiations were under way early Monday, nearly a day after the start of the revolt at the Advogado Antonio Jacinto Filho prison in the coastal city of Aracaju. The agency says the penitentiary's 470 inmates are demanding an end to acts of torture they allege regularly take place inside the prison, as well as better treatment of female visitors. It says that nearly 30 prisoners' relatives taken hostage when the revolt broke out were released Monday.
