A few weeks ago, the Donald Trump administration started removing illegal migrants. Also, many people started being sent to Al Salvador jail. Recently, the US government admitted that they also sent a person to the infamous jail even in administrative mistake. Since then, the prison of Salvador is being discussed. The scope for coming out of the high security target prison once went out is less. The United Nations has also called it a hell of human rights.
What is the country of Salvador
The Central American country was counted among the most violent countries in the world. In the nineties, the crime and especially the gang culture increased so much that the government was helpless. There were two big gangs who were running the entire Salvador. Murders and looting were common on the streets. Get the situation the highest from the situation that a few years ago the rate of murder was the highest, while the country itself is quite small. On an average 18 people were killed here every day. They could not be associated with the gang, but also common people who were accidentally present at the scene.
A few years ago changed atmosphere
The security agencies of the country were also helpless in front of it but no one was able to do anything. In the year 2019, a Nayib Bukele’s government came. He promised to abolish the crime even before becoming President. As soon as he came, he started this work. In the year 2022, when the gangs became more aggressive, the bouquet immediately imposed emergency. Under this, the police and the army were allowed to arrest people without any warrant. In a short time, 70 to 80 thousand people were arrested.
Now a new problem arose in front of the government as to where to keep so many prisoners. The jails were already filled due to gang culture. For this reason, Boukele decided to create a new jail, named Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT).
CNN made a report on it, which told how the jail is and under which circumstances the prisoners are kept. The jail with a capacity of about 40000 prisoners has been described as the worst in the report. There are no beds for prisoners, but there are bunk beds of metal. No matter how cold the weather is, they have gold without blankets. The cell has round the clock.
Since the dreaded terrorists and criminals are kept in the Jail of Salvador, no work is done for security. People are taken out for only half an hour, where they read the Bible or do some physical activity. No one can come to meet them.
This was a major attack of buckets against domestic crimes. Crime in the country has also reduced considerably. However, due to this jail, the President also started criticizing. While apprehending the people associated with the gang, the government started imprisoning the common people. Many people went inside without proof and could not get out. Since two big gangs used to get tattoos, all the people made tattoos started being caught. It is believed that thousands of people arrested may be innocent. But the government dismissed any criticism and said that it was necessary to take this step.
According to the CNN report, Salvador leader Bukele proposed to the US that they could use their jails for their prisoners. Idea Trump liked. There was an agreement in which the US government will give $ 6 million to Salvador. This amount will help in keeping this expensive jail running.
Since then, America is sending criminals from intruders to gangs. But not only Salvador, the US can make such compromises with many other countries as well. Especially African countries. Illegal migrants of those countries will be sent here, whose origin has refused to withdraw its own citizens.
