Pope Francis greets Mexican youths wearing traditional costumes Tuesday in Morelia, Mexico.

MEXICO CITY — Pope Francis wraps up his trip to Mexico today with some of his most anticipated events: a visit in a Ciudad Juárez prison just days after a riot in another lockup killed 49 inmates and a stop at the Texas border when immigration is a hot issue for the U.S. presidential campaign.

He also scheduled a meeting with Mexican workers, grassroots groups and employers in an encounter at which he was likely to repeat his mantra on the need for dignified work for all and “land, labor and lodging.”

Francis’ final events cap a whirlwind five-day visit that focused heavily on the injustices faced by Mexico’s poorest, most oppressed and vulnerable to the country’s drug-fueled violence. He sought to offer comfort while taking Mexico’s political and religious leaders to task for failing to do good for their people.

The pope makes a point of going to prisons on nearly every trip, part of his longtime ministry to inmates and his belief that the lowest in society deserve dignity.

He has denounced abuse of pre-trial detention, called life sentences a “hidden death penalty” and urged a worldwide end to capital punishment.
