Honduras announced on Friday night the construction of a mega-prison for 20,000 inmates, among more than a dozen measures, by declaring a “security emergency” to combat the overwhelming crime. In a national radio and television broadcast, President Xiomara Castro and other members of the National Defense and Security Council (CNDS) unveiled the “crime solution plan” in response to public outcry over the surge in violence.
“Given this declared security emergency, the immediate construction of an Emergency Detention Center (CRE) with a capacity for 20,000 inmates in the unpopulated area between the departments of Olancho and Gracias a Dios (east) is ordered,” announced the head of the military, Roosevelt Hernández.
He added that inmates currently confined in the national penitentiary system will be “immediately” transferred to the CRE. Around 30 prisons house approximately 21,000 inmates in the Central American country.
The construction of the prison and other measures in the plan resemble those undertaken by the President of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, through which he has managed to control the “cancer” of gangs.

It’s too bad the ahos didn’t use that ink to write a Constitution and a few books of laws.
Wow...I guess you don’t hear “I need to pee.”
“I need to pee.”
Happy now?
Ignore that. I misunderstood what you were saying. I got to threads mixed up.
Agreed.
Yeah. The USA.
A little more expensive than your posted proposal, but with the same outcome.
It is where those men belong, and it is what must happen to them.
The problem is: what are you going to do with the guards? Extermination of their prisoner population will change the guards, and many will have a very difficult time returning to a relatively peaceful society their work may have created.
At some point they will have culled the five percent of the population which is responsible for the violent crime problem. Then what should they do with the mostly empty prisons? Should they expand the ranks of eligible persons to be sent there or should they close them down?
I hope they have plans for the results of the program success.
I remember the 90s. When it came to law enforcement, two things were true. One was that more criminals were incarcerated than ever. The second was that crime was lower than ever. The left could not understand the correlation.
Their solution to criminals is to export them to the US where Biden welcomes them.
“Just execute them to remove the chance they make their way to the US.”
I agree. Do it swiftly and humanely then scatter the ashes in the jungle.
