No escape! World's murder capital opens impenetrable prison as part of major gang crackdown
2023-02-03
[FoxNews] El Salvador has doubled its prison capacity after opening a 40,000-person facility this week in an effort to further crack down on the country's gang violence problem.

"All those home boys, those hard boyz in the organization that made our beloved Salvadoran people suffer, will be housed and subjected to a severe regimen," El Salvador’s Prisons Director Osiris Luna said on state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
El Salvador President Nayib Bukele said the country’s "Terrorism Confinement Center" mega-prison, now one of Latin America’s largest, will have 37 guard towers and eight cellblocks that will be "impossible to escape," The Times of England reported.

Roughly 600 troops and 250 coppers will help secure the prison, which will sit on some 410 acres.

#4  Simpler to simply freeze the miscreants in carbonite, although that limits opportunities for income generation.

#3  Maybe. Wasn't too long ago they took all the imprisoned gang members, put them nose to asshole, and said knock it off or they get it.

I understand it worked.
