Honduras: authorities transfer thousands of inmates to more secure facilities

Government authorities in Honduras have transferred more than 700 gang members to a new maximum security prison. 

The move is part of an initiative aimed at relocating some 2,000 inmates considered to be highly dangerous. Authorities say they want to prevent these jails from serving as comand centers for criminal activity.
