After preventing the escape, officials inspected every cell at the prison in the northeastern city of Pedro Juan Caballero, seizing a large number of mobile phones and chargers, homemade weapons, alcohol and small quantities of marijuana and other drugs.

The AG office said it plans to question the would-be escapees and a number of prison officials as part of a broader investigation into how drugs and mobile phones entered the facility.
