*balanced OP incoming*
President Nayib Bukele's war on crime has culminated in this human rights breaching mega prison.
Look, I get it. They're criminals (well some of them are anyway) but am I meant to think that the authorities here are any better than the gang members?
Some of the prison's highlights;
- 8 buildings with 32 cells in each. 10m x 10m cells that will house 100 inmates each. Each cell contains 80 beds, with no mattresses, two toilets and two sinks.
- There's a gym, table tennis and dining hall. For the guards.
- Prisoners are only allowed to leave the cell for legal hearings or when they're placed in isolation.
I know there will be a few folk saying "feck them, they're scum". In which I say you should get in line and join the murderers and drug dealers being housed in this hell hole.
Anyway, discuss. Obviously these gangs have fecked El Salvador up for years and there has to be punishments that also deter others but it's a sad sight.
