In a year and seven months a bullet Panther kill someone in Ciudad Juárez. In the dining room of the county jail for women awaiting release from prison and design your itinerary: I want to be Sicaria ...
Panther, which does not have a name, know and consider: "There are load of old killers and extortionists, but are made withered, "he says while a woman around 60 years old, imprisoned for trafficking, walking behind us and limping from the cold.
- Have you told your spouse you want to be holster?
- Many times.
- "And he responds?
"That when I leave here, I'll change.
- And what did you say? -
Do not! I'm going to be worse. The day I quit, "I say I want to kill a rump in front of you. And I ask him: What do you think? And he stays silent.

The bedroom area is like a steel cooler pieces in cream. Here there are 134 women prisoners.
80%, according to official transportation convicted of crimes and drug smuggling. The rest (20%) is held captive by robbery or extortion.
La Pantera, browse the local newspaper today Dawn has called calcined.
A guard, who has recently shaved his beard and trained to talk a little - watching in silence about 10 meters.
Your story about female prisoners back to me a video. Appeared on YouTube as elpumaoriginal hours before the death of a woman on 11 October 2010. The video
, a woman is questioned by two suspected assassins who point to the belly. Sanjuana called Gabriela Enriquez said.
His captors ask
- You know that more women are thrust into this, right?
-
Yes - How many, which you know, how many more?
- just the two of us
- What has happened to the others?
- The
killed - Are not you afraid?
- Yes
During questioning one of his captors placed a rose in her hands. Minutes later see a shot where the woman is painted on the back the quote: "I am serving extortionist Line." Sanjuana appear a day later killed.
In the prison, I chat with Panther. Her eyes are huge and stalkers.
Now he wants to talk about the family:
- Even my child of 12 wants to be a hitman. Once I asked: "Mijo, do you want to be? And he said, as hitman mom.
- But speaking of killing people ...
- What's that? - Said by looking to the side-one day I will kill myself. I am also a person.
- What makes you think life will be better if Sicaria?
- You live life as you live. Not to be a secretary or to be hired killers or being Buzzard or for being who you are. The life you have to live once. If you do not do what you like, then what's the point? ..
IV .- To understand a section of what was said by La Pantera-prey the robbery of a jewelry-I look to the board of a local language.
not the figures of the Mexican prosecutors, but the Diario de Juarez, which has its own count of crimes in this city: 2 000 932 so far in 2010.
arithmetic violence in Juárez and the incursion of women in the killings could have a sense of imitation. U.S. Something called copy cat. People
copy characterized by murderers who have committed crimes or highly recognized celebrities TIME-po back.
criminologist Gabriel Rodríguez Juárez Leos based this hypothesis and believe that some women who are hired or are in line Conversion to the killings, admire the fame of other gunmen.
- That fact is what invites women are attracted to that reputation, he says the specialist and member of the Association of Criminologists Criminologists and Chihuahua. He says
They see violence and contract killings are common and taste for the easy money offered by drug trafficking or illegal activities.

in downtown Juarez, specialist theory takes shape. This is my second day in town and this time the chill of night has-ta drag me downtown streets near the international crossing to the city of El Paso, Texas, considered a of the United States safer.
In El Paso - where 90% of the population is of Mexican origin, there have been four murders in 2010, against 2 000 932 of Juárez.
The logic is simple. Across the border, die in a year, equivalent to people who are killed in half a day in Juarez. There
cerquita the bridge, with a light brown, I know a prostitute close to 37 years and a son of 22.
Newly widowed. Her husband was murdered by a rival gang. She suspects that is because of the mafia.
And talk: about two weeks ago came a cholo and said: I come to announce that starting Friday we will charge a fee to tell them all.
- brought credentials to the calling fee.
- And what was that?
- I did not return ...
- On Saturday, one of the girls working there she was threatened with a gun. He was told to tell the hotel bato not go from cock. That if I did not think were going to start waking up at us. And in April we learned that new people will no longer asked fee.
The lady got off the car and lost blocks down, heading home.
VI .-
right back to jail with Panther. 'Oh swallow, tell me you're back / by my side / eventually / ... 'is heard on the radio in the laundry which is run by a woman accused of murdering his son.
- You seem a very brave woman ...
- I've always been. Tell it like it is. For my character I have many many problems here.
- Outside there are many who are hired, what do you think?
- I know. But you have not heard the saying that is more righteous a woman than a man? Sometimes you have more eggs one woman one man. Is proven.
- More ovaries, you say.
- Put eggs, then laughs wickedly.
- What about your dream?
- I have dreams myself.
- And the dreams of their children?
- Son of them. Are your dreams.
- Why not have dreams?
- just be hitman. Dreams do I want more now. What do I get to dream that maybe things or meet me?
- Why not think about getting out of here in a taxi driving, teaching or being in the maquila?
- Of course not! A maquila do salaries of 400 pesos a week? What is that as the killers are not going to pay 400 pesos. Are you going to kill all day for 400 pesos? I too will mourn when I die.
- Who will win this war by President Felipe Calderon?
- The drug traffickers are going to win because the president is not going to win. We are going to be able to stop
- So you support the drug traffickers?
- And what do I get to support the president. Is the president in which we supported us? What gives us president? Do promises? A president to sit in a chair promises you many things you never met. That's why I never vote for anybody.
- What do you think of women who have killed their children in this war?
- Even though it was their turn. You have a hairline to where and how you arrive you get there, and Te Ching.
- What do you expect your children this war?
- That war continues, Juarez is running alone.
