Zacatecas used to be among the quietest states in Mexico. Now, it displays all the symptoms of the illnesses plaguing the country. Check out the video of the flight from the Zacatecas jail here, here, here, and here. For me, the indelible image is at the end of the first video (which captures the events just outside the facility's gate), after all 50-some prisoners had slipped out but before the guards appeared, a dog runs toward the prison as if to ask, What's going on?
Also, Ricardo Monreal's brother is being investigated for connections to the 14.5 tons of marijuana found in his warehouse. Ricardo, formerly a governor of the state and presently a senator with the PT, has essentially dismissed the whole affair a political smear campaign. He has also asked to have his senatorial exemption from prosecution removed so that he himself may be investigated, although the PGR says that Ricardo is not a target.
Update: Imagen's question of the day reads, "After having learned about the video of the jailbreak in Cieneguillas, do you think, a) the governor of the state is involved. b) just the prison system." What a silly premise; unless the question refers to another video that I've not seen (which I suppose is possible) you can't really tell anything from the video other than what we already knew: a bunch of inmates broke out. It's like asking after a Cavs video if Lebron get paid by check or direct deposit. For the record, 43 percent say they now think the governor was involved.
Also, the state's secretary of public security has resigned.

One big reason Zacatecas is so quiet is that there isn't any work there, and it has the highest percentage of citizens living in the United States of any of the Mexican states.
I wonder if part of the problem isn't that everyone who CAN work is gone and marijuana farming is about the only lucrative industry left.
Yeah that definitely doesn't help, and you see a similar phenomenon in Michoacán. It'd be interesting to see a social scientist connect the breakdown of the family because of so many fathers in the North to rising levels of crime. Although lots of states where immigration hasn't been so high have also seen spikes in crime.
