LATIMES/ Tracy Wilkinson/ Long Feature/
Wilkinson describes the pain of living in Reynosa, a border city of 700,000 that is a virtual "prison camp" controlled by drug thugs.
There the Gulf cartel fights the Zetas and the Mexican army fights them both.
There drug traffickers patrol its streets, set-up roadblocks, harass citizens, gun down enemies and even censor the news.
Many have fled there, but others stay and cope.
