El Salvador's Mega-Prison Receives 2,000 More Suspected Gang Members

Another 2,000 suspected gang members have been sent to El Salvador's mega-prison, the Center for the Confinement of Terrorism, bringing the total number of inmates to 4,000. The prison, which has a capacity for 40,000 people, is considered to be the largest in the Americas and is said to be "impossible to escape." While President Nayib Bukele's proactive approach in the war against gangs has led to the capture of over 60,000 accused gang members, human rights observers have raised concerns about basic constitutional rights being violated.
