    CECOT Prisoners are not intended to leave, ever, according to Bukele’s justice minister. 156 violent people shoved into 100 square meter cells with no regard for gang affiliation. Steel bunks 3 levels high - no mats, no windows, just a toilet and wash basin shared among everyone in a cell. They’re fed rice without utensils, and provided zero outdoor time or visitation.

    Basically a steel and concrete pit built to make people wish they got the death penalty.

      It looks like a cattle farm from the sky, except that cattle barns have plenty of windows and usually allow the cows some level of movement.

      I assume you mean 100 square feet cells? 100 square meter cells sounds quite luxurious - unless that’s the total area.

        They put a lot of people in the cells, not just 2 or 3. So they are quite large and still quite crowded.

        100 m2 cell with 156 people per cell = .6 m2 per person. In reality even less, as it doesn’t account space for bunks.
