27,000 arrested in Mexico drug war in 2010

Can't Post | Private Reply

News reports of the number of drug war related deaths are common.
There have been several reports of arrests of high-value drug lords,
but this is the first article I have seen that reports the total number of arrests.

The article is from the French news agency AFP.
There is a typo in the third paragraph -- 17,200 should be 27,200.

But how many convicted? That's the number I'd like to see.

How many convicted and serving time and HAVE NOT ESCAPED from custody is the number I would like to see...

I've seen that number used pretty often though I'm not sure if that is the rate for all crimes or for drug crimes.
