Prison officials rebel after the murder in Mas d'Enric: "We crossed the red line" "It is the chronicle of a death foretold," laments Alberto Gómez, coordinator of CSIF Prisons in Catalonia. "Tempers are heated," he acknowledges about a case that yesterday generated a strong protest from the main prison unions.

Catalonia's prisons recorded up to 703 incidents in 12 months, according to figures from the Department of Justice of the Generalitat.
