NATCHEZ, Miss. — A Mexican man was sentenced Monday to 40 months for his role in a prison riot in Mississippi in which one guard was killed and 20 people were injured.
Juan Lopez-Fuentes was sentenced for participating in the May 20 riot at the privately-run Adams County Correctional Facility in Natchez, which holds illegal immigrants convicted of crimes in the United States. He pleaded guilty in August.
He was sentenced Monday in U.S. District Court in Natchez. U.S. District Judge David Bramlette also ordered Lopez-Fuentes to pay $1.3 million restitution — the amount of estimated damage that occurred at the facility during the riot.
