Prison guards salute during the inauguration of new extensions in the high security prison Noroeste (Northwest) in El Rincon in the state of Nayarit February 28, 2012. Two new extensions of the federal prison were inaugurated on Tuesday and the prison will now be able to house 2000 federal prisoners.
