Fascinating and horrifying secrets of El Salvador mega-prison for gangs credited with slashing murders by 70%
Daily Mail UK ^ | July 29, 2024 | Laura Parnaby

Dramatic footage has emerged from inside El Salvador's mega-prison for gang members showing its concrete confinement cell and impenetrable security.

The Centre for the Confinement of Terrorism (CECOT) in Tecoluca is home to 40,000 of the world's most dangerous men who will never be released - each one with at least one homicide conviction.

And now YouTuber Nick Shirley has offered one of the most in-depth looks at the prison's interior yet.

He also takes a tour of the solitary confinement chamber, a narrow cell comprising only a raised concrete platform used as a bed alongside a rudimentary toilet basin.

There is no mattress on the bed and anyone finding themselves in a solitary is not given any sheets to slip on.

A sink is filled with cold water for inmates to wash on - and natural light comes from a small round hole drilled into the thick concrete ceiling.

Shirley also offered the first glance at steps prison workers have taken to tamp down any riots. An enormous room filled with scores of assault rifles sits within the prison, waiting to be deployed in the event of any future unrest.

Footage from the inside shows topless and heavily tattooed inmates lined up under the watchful eye of heavily-armed guards at the institution which has been a key part of a concerted effort to drive down El Salvador's murder rate.

The number of homicides in the Central America nation dropped 70 percent last year as authorities under the leadership of President Nayib Bukele cracked down on criminals both inside and outside the jail.

Good. Sounds like they need a few more of these type prisons south of the boarder and maybe their problems would be solved.

I saw a video of the scum being marched into this prison. No sass. No talk-back. This scum had been broken like animals. All fire and rebellion had been beat out of them.

These prisoners have fear of their jailers.

Prisoners in this sort of extreme security, and with no plan of release, should be given the option of immediate execution. That, would be a far more humane and practical solution, other than perpetually adding more and more sardines into this finite space. I suspect the hygiene and general cleanliness is poor. Who would want to work there for any extended period of time? Those employees who remain a long time chance becoming corrupted after “making friends” with some prisoners they encounter each shift.

sounds like OUR Wagner Army, to send to Venezuela in order to hand check the ballots or something like that.

Do you think any of them have a moment of clarity, look at their tatoos and think I wish I could go back to being a kid again.

Do they realize just how stupid they are?

Kamala Harris has to get on this ASAP. These potential “newcomers” could add a boatload of diversity to our cities.

American prisons hardened for little old ladies who pray in front of abortion clinics and try to save unborn babies. And priests.

“...and think I wish I could go back to being a kid again.”

I looked at the pics. Some of them still had a look of defiance but some had regret like “I really messed up”.

I figure in time all of them will have the look of the defeated on them.

This is a dangerous army in waiting. They need to be executed.

Venezuela’s murder rate has dropped by 25% to a 22-year low, with a simultaneous reduction in the number of incarcerated and justice-involved persons.

Imprisonment is not the answer!

Actually NO.

I’m not 100% sure but some time when Trump was president there was a country that refused to take back illegals because they were all gang members. Trump asked “how much do we send them in aid?” Trump found out and cut off all that aid ASAP. That country was on the the phone as fast as you can say “Jack Robinson” and took them all back.

I’m not sure but I think it was this South American country because this big house was only built in last few years and opened under Biden.

Good. Send all the people from El Salvador back as there is no longer a need for asylum.

But Trump had attacked him and said he sent his criminals across our border. Hmmm.

I know this is a British news outlet and I know the British do not speak proper American but this is not proper English either.

They have that option now, all they have to do is assault a guard.
