Wow. The prison is named Cecot. I just read a few articles on it. That place is fucked up. Was built for 20,000 people, but capacity then doubled. Like 80 people to a cell with no sheets or pillows on all metal beds. A bucket of water in each cell to drink. You eat (no meat ever served) in your crowded cell that has no chairs and the lights stay on 24/7 and you only get out of your cell 30 minutes a day. The country more or less eliminated due process a few years back. No inmates are allowed visitors or phone calls or letters. Also, no books or games or playing cards or anything that could provide any sort of entertainment. If you’re supposed to go before a judge it’s done over video conference call. Lot of other fucked up shit, too.
The US paid El Salvador $6,000,000 to take the 240ish people there. Like $25,000 a person.

Those last few numbers were what the new head of DHS meant when he said he wanted to make deportations “more like Amazon prime”
They need to work on the return policy if they want to be like Amazon. It’s well within 30 days.
