    If I remember correctly they also don’t get even a bedsheet. They just sleep directly on the metal.

    I remember hearing about this prison awhile back and it genuinely sounds like hell. I have very little compassion for rapists and murderers, but even they don’t deserve to live like that. I cannot imagine what it must do to your psyche.

    If first you enter that prison, that is it. The president of that country is very adamant that no one is released, if I remember correctly.

    Fucking terrifying to think someone who did nothing at all could end up in there, but there is probably more than one of those in there.

    Edit, I found this video that touches on the issue. It is very interesting.

      The thing is these aren’t rapists and murderers. These people haven’t been convicted of crimes. Even those not sent by the US. The Salvadoran dictator just decides that people are rapists and murderers and sends them there without trial.
