RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil (Reuters) -- Police found five mutilated bodies, some with their heads chopped off, when officers entered a Brazilian prison on Friday after inmates ended a bloody uprising.

The discovery brought the death toll to 14 in the five-day uprising that ended on Thursday after authorities met the prisoners' demands of replacing the prison director and expanding the overcrowded facility.

"Some had no heads, others were mutilated," said Renato Eduardo dos Santos, deputy security secretary in the Amazon state of Rondonia.

He did not provide more specific details.

The inmates took control of the prison on Sunday and threw the mutilated corpses of some of their murdered victims from the prison walls early in the uprising, shocking relatives watching from outside. They had also brandished the heads of two of the dead men from the walls.

"We will have to refurbish the prison as they destroyed everything," Dos Santos said. "That will take 30 or 40 days."

The inmates will be kept under special guard until the reforms were concluded.

The Urso Branco, or "White Bear" prison, was built for 360 inmates but houses more than 1,000 prisoners. It was the scene of an earlier riot in 2002 when 27 inmates died.
