A fistfight at a prison in northern Honduras escalated into a riot Saturday that left 86 inmates dead and dozens of prisoners and guards injured after the prisoners set fire to their mattresses and furniture, authorities said. An unknown number of inmates escaped before authorities regained control of the complex three hours later. Flames quickly engulfed one of the three wood and corrugated metal buildings of the El Porvenir prison in La Ceiba, a port city 220 miles north of Tegucigalpa, the capital, prison spokesman Leonel Sauceda said. Jose Cahuati, the director of a nearby state hospital that was receiving the dead and wounded, said his staff counted 86 bodies.
