Enough is allegedly enough.
El Salvador decided to build a mega prison to hold those still wreaking havoc at home rather than at increasingly crime-friendly points North.
In the newest phase of President Nayib Bukele’s “war” on crime, El Salvador opened the doors of the new prison to its first 2,000 gang members. The facility is designed to house 40,000 thugs.
Bukele’s war on crime has resulted in the recent arrest of 63,000 individuals. El Salvador has the highest incarceration rate in the world with 2 percent of its population currently in jail.
Built on Bukele’s orders last March, the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) in Tecoluca, 74 kilometers (46 miles) southeast of the capital San Salvador, consists of eight buildings made of reinforced concrete.
