Take an in-depth tour of El Salvador's cutting edge new prison built to house the most violent criminals and predators that have terrorized the country for years.
The Centro De Confinamiento Del Terrorismo (Center For Incarceration of Terrorists), appropriately named by Nayib Bukele, one of the most based national leaders after Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro, is a cutting edge hi-tech mass incarceration facility built inside the crater of an ancient meteor strike at Tecoluca, El Salvador. Surrounded on all four sides by high ground, the Salvadorian Army occupies bases all around this facility on the high ridges, providing an even added security perimeter in addition to the prison's own no-nonsense security.
CRIME DOES NOT PAY IN EL SALVADOR ANYMORE:
Every inch of the massive complex is brightly lit by 24 hour LED high intensity lights. There is NO privacy. NO perks. NO solitary "protective custody". Prisoners are housed in 100-occupant cells, with just two toilets in each cell. There is no privacy at the toilets either. Every square inch of every cell is in open view for guards all over the perimeter. Four cells make up one quad. The prison has a 40,000 inmate capacity and the guards are comprised mostly of Salvadorian Special Forces personnel. In a single roundup at the start of Nayib Bukele's presidency, the Salvadorian National Police SWAT and Salvadorian military corralled 12,000 street gang members and bussed them to the new facility. Shackled from wrist to ankle, chained to each other, and assembled in columns 100 persons wide and 100 long, packed like sardines for the whole world to see. Every person in these columns sported tattoos and body ink clearly labeling them as part of the many street gangs which had terrorized the country for years and indiscriminately murdered and raped trails of devastation through their communities. In the following weeks, thousands of additional gang members, pedophiles, and criminals were brought in on Salvadorian Army buses, shackled, made to run hunched through a gauntlet of SWAT officers armed with M-16s and M-4 carbines, and paraded before news cameras under a merciless flood of high intensity lighting.
For the first time in years, residents all over El Salvador said that they could finally live their lives in peace without the constant pervailing terror of gangland murder sprees and "initiation home invasions", which often resulted in massacres of entire families by newly inducted gang members seeking to prove their worth to their peers. The terror inflicted by these gangs were enough to cause a refugee tide fleeing the country that was on par with Syria during their brutal civil war. Nayib Bukele also greatly expanded El Salvador's concealed carry provisions. The documenting of "need to be armed" was removed. All law abiding citizens who have no criminal history and who can prove that they are employed in honest work or taking on the responsibilities of caring for family members and children are eligible to apply and be speedily approved for a license to carry a handgun, which is valid anywhere in the country.
