Penas Ciudad Barrios is a prison exclusively housing inmates from the Mara Salvatrucha gang in El Salvador

The prison, built for 800, now houses 2,500 prisoners who run their own 'society' complete with bakery and hospital

In August, El Salvador saw the highest number of murders since its bloody 12-year civil war ended in 1992

Their faces and bodies are covered in ink, telling the stories of the crimes they have committed and in honour of who they have done so all over their bodies.

They are drug pushers, murderers and weapons dealers - members of the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), a gang so feared in El Salvador that they have been left to run their own prison.

In Penas Ciudad Barrios, the Mara Salvatrucha control their own miniature society of some 2,500 incarcerated members, complete with a bakery, workshops, a hospital and rehab.

The prison guards and the El Salvadorian army remain on the outside, ensuring that the prisoners stay behind bars, but doing very little to meddle in affairs on the other side of the gates.

Penas Ciudad Barrios is a maximum security prison exclusively housing Mara Salvatrucha gang members, located in the capital San Salvador.

In 2013, photographer Adam Hinton, from London, was granted access to the squalid gangland prison, originally built to house some 800 inmates, but now home to around 2,500 Mara Salvatrucha members, and the area of San Salvador populated by their families - Las Victorias.

When an american with a CC sees one, he should follow them to where they live, get together with fellow patriotic Americans, and arrange for their disappearance at a later date.

Pardon me.
Leviticus 19:28 “Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print or tattoo any marks upon you: I am the Lord.” While I pity them, their scourge on society—societies—cannot be forgiven. You reap what you sow. These are the elemental bootstraps of evil.

Its Guardia Nacional, Policia de Hacienda, and National Police were abolished. Then its small "mara" (gang) problem became a large one.

We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.

We might not look as bad as MS-13, but only God knows what extent of expressed evil is due to our circumstance and what is due to our heart.

Supposing that God brought together circumstances where you could do just that, and the government either didn’t care or was so nebbish that it could do nothing.

Would you be able to ever go beyond outside appearances?

What will President Trump do with those in this country?

Trump told Ramos, “the one thing we’re going to start with immediately are the gangs”... "we have tremendous crime” and “tremendous problems” and “we have some very bad ones… I think you would agree with that, right?”

Trump noted that some of the gangs in Baltimore, Chicago, and Ferguson “have some rough illegal immigrants in those gangs.”

“They’re getting out,” Trump told Ramos. “Now, if they come from Mexico, do you mind if I send them back to Mexico?”

Trump continued, “These people are out. They’re going to be out so fast your head’s going to spin.”

When Ramos told Trump that “no human being is illegal,” Trump said that “when they cross the border they are illegal immigrants if they don’t have their papers.”

Trump also said he would deliver on his promises regarding illegal immigration because he’s a good manager.

“You’re not used to good management because you’re always talking about government,” Trump said. “Government is incompetent… Guys like Bush and some others that I won’t name are incompetent people–they don’t have it.”
