By Allan WallHere’s something I ran across on Mexico’s Excelsior. They held a beauty pageant in a Mexican women’s prison in Escobedo, part of the Monterrey metroplex in northern Mexico. The winner was Melissa, awarded 5,000 pesos. The runner-up was Martha, who won 4,000 pesos. In third place was Carmen, who won 3,000 pesos.
