It is worth noting that the military leaders ruled out a rebellion in the prison, but soldiers, members of the National Guard, and members of the state mobilized to prevent this act.

For its part, the Morelos government reported that people deprived of their liberty, in dormitory B, confronted the guards, and for this reason the authority announced changes in the command structure, in order to comply with current regulations regarding prison inmates.
