BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) -- An Argentine prison uprising over Mother's Day visiting hours killed at least 17 people before being

brought under control on Sunday, according to officials and media reports.

About 200 inmates joined the uprising that began on Saturday

night at the prison in Magdalena, 75 miles (120 km) south of the capital of Buenos Aires, said Argentine

television station TN.

At least 17 people died before order was restored on Sunday

morning, Fernando Diaz, director of the Buenos

Aires province penitentiary

service, told TN.

Several family members said they entered

the prison early Sunday morning and saw corpses " piled on top of one

another. " They put the death toll at

closer to 30 people.
