MEXICO CITY — Police found a stocked bar inside a minimum-security prison near Mexico City, Mexico on Monday.

Among the items found were multiple guns, air conditioners, hundreds of beer cans, bottles of tequila and vodka, cell phones, marijuana, heroin, and even a pool table, according to CBS News.

A spokesman for the Chihuahua state prosecutor’s office said the deputy director of the prison was fired and officers are under investigation, according to the article.

Three years ago, a police inspection of the same prison found dozens of flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, computers, microwave ovens, and cell phones, according to reports.
