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.

Great sense, and I have explained it to you in freepmail.
How do you know who is, and who was?
Well sure they do, but none of that goes away even if, finding themselves in a free country, they come to their senses and walk off.
zero.
What if Hillary comes to her senses and becomes an honest and Godly person? Does that mean you think we should vote for her, just in case?
These folks made a choice (to join a violent gang). The consequence of that choice is that they will no longer be welcomed here. That does not prevent them from living a good life elsewhere. But it does minimize the chance that they will take the lives of Americans when they don't "change"...
there is so much violence in their eyes...
