'Never return': El Salvador locks up gang-bangers in new mega-prison with promise of no release
Fox News
El Salvador's government has heavily publicized the new prison, providing video of each prison transfer so far, along with pictures extensively showing the inside of the facility.
The government has swept up roughly 65,000 suspected gang members since approving Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele's emergency powers in March 2022, which also allowed it to approve and build the mega-prison. Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
The country’s "Terrorism Confinement Center" has a 40,000person capacity and has already taken in over 4,000 prisoners as the government continues to crack down on an extensive gang problem. It is already at 10% of its maximum capacity just one month after opening.
