#1 Ummm I'm reading this at 5pm Central standard time, and the prison is two time zones west, something's wrong it's only 3pm there right now?

#2 Tamaulipas is in the Cdentral Times zone, and I dunno how to explain the difference, All the news services are saying the riot began at. Mexican news services said the riot began at 1700 hrs. Changing to the corrected time of 0500 hrs.

#7 Oh, and I was incorrect about the country being all one time zone. Sorry!

(And I'm wondering, maybe there needs to be a master backgrounder page re: the whole Mexico thing?)
