ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION)<br/> <br />Inmates took over a prison in the Brazilian city of Belo Horizonte, on Thursday (February 21) and are now holding a prison officer and a teacher hostage.<br/> <br />The rebellion in the Nelson Hungria Penitentiary, in Minas Gerais state, started over 20 hours ago. Authorities believe around 90 inmates are involved in the mutiny.<br/> <br />The rebellion is believed to have started when the teacher, whose name hasn't been divulged, was giving a class to a group of inmates. While she was being escorted by the prison guard, prisoners ambushed them.<br/> <br />Despite being held at knife point, authorities say neither of the hostages have been harmed.<br/> <br />The inmates are allegedly rebelling for a change in the prison's visiting system, which currently doesn't allow pregnant women in the penitentiary's pavilions. Visits by pregnant women currently take place in a private room with a prison guard on watch.<br/> <br />They also want the prison's director to be replaced.<br/> <br />The Nelson Hungria Penitentiary is also where former Flamengo goalkeeper, Bruno, is being held for the kidnapping and murder of his girlfriend.<br/> <br />So far, there are no reports that Bruno is involved in the rebellion.
