In this Sept. 9, 2014 photo, Father Antonio Rodriguez poses for a photograph in Madrid, Spain. The Roman Catholic priest Rodriguez was detained in July and found guilty on Sept. 4 of delivering prohibited cellphones and SIM cards to gang members behind bars, asking prison authorities to lower the intensity of cell-phone jamming technology and lobbying for inmates to receive special privileges. He was sentenced to 2 1/2 years for introducing illicit objects and influence trafficking. Rodriguez said he did so as an emissary of the government in a bid to preserve a shaky gang truce that at least temporarily lowered sky-high murder rates in this Central American nation. Thanks to a plea bargain with prosecutors, he was released after 37 days behind bars and returned to his native Spain. ( Photo/Andres Kudacki)
