At Least 50 Dead As Rival Gangs Clash Inside Brazilian Prison

Sickening video from a bloody prison battle in Brazil shows twisted gang members playfully kicking the decapitated heads of their rivals on the roof of the jail as 57 people have been killed in the clash.



Six or so inmates were seen horsing around on top of the Altamira Regional Recovery Center in Brazil's northern Pará state.



They appeared to be using human heads as balls for a sickening game of soccer.



The footage emerged hours after a 'rebellion' broke out when gang members from one prison block invaded the prison annex and reportedly set part of it on fire around 7am.



Sixteen of the 57 dead were decapitated in the bloody five-hour-long clash that ended around midday, an official from the Para state government's penitentiary department said.



It was the latest violence to rock the country's overpopulated and deadly prison system.
