The Battle of Tuxtla Martínez-Panachor, which lasted from May 3, 1988, to May 16, 1988, was the result of an unsuccessful escape attempt from the Tuxtla Martínez-Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility. The escape attempt and subsequent battle was organized and lead by Ignacio Morales Morales, a prominent leader of Mara Salvatrucha. The uprising was suppressed by Director Benjamín Alarcón Illescas's forces on May 16, 1988. Hundreds died, hundreds were injured, and thousands were executed in the aftermath.
