STORYLINE: With tattoo-covered faces, wearing white shirts and shorts, gang members captured during El Salvador’s state of exception are gradually filling the country’s new mega prison. Unveiled earlier this year, the prison 45 miles southeast of the capital now holds some 12,000 accused or convicted gang members, barely a quarter of its 40,000 capacity. Steel walkways cross atop the cells so guards can watch prisoners from above. Prisoners here do not receive visits and are never allowed outside. Walking through one of the prison’s eight sprawling pavilions Thursday, some prisoners acknowledged a group of journalists with a nod of the head or slight wave. Journalists were not allowed to speak with them or to cross a yellow line two yards from each cell. President Nayib Bukele ordered its construction when El Salvador began massive arrests early last year in response to a surge in gang violence. Since then, more than 72,000 people have been arrested for being alleged gang members or affiliates. Human rights organizations have said that thousands have been unjustly detained without due process and dozens have died in prisons and criticized the prison’s massive scale and lack of any sort of rehabilitation. The prison does have dining halls, break rooms, a gym and board games, but those are for guards. =========================================================== Clients are reminded to adhere to all listed restrictions and to check the terms of their licence agreements.
