President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador has declared war against the local Mara gangs, which have long plagued the small Central American nation. In response, the government has developed CECOT, one of the largest mega-prisons in the world. This facility holds 12,000 members of the most violent Salvadoran Maras in this highly controlled environment. Our crew delves into the lives of those incarcerated within CECOT, exploring and interviewing them to provide a unique perspective on this unprecedented crackdown.

9:14 I like how he explained some of the tattoos
Thats how they treat them IN FRONT of the CAMERA
Sending respect to those officers who protect their country from this filth . I have huge respect for mr. Bukele and his team .
From asia
The sad thing is that most of them that they was born into that lifestyle and most likely they didnt see any way out, but join a gang etc… most of them deserves to be there but the previous corrupt government officials are well deserves to be there with this criminals…
Respect to the president 👏🏻
And people complain about 1st world problems ive done years of prison and this is up there with the worst. Just going for a walk being free is great. Hectic life …….. I would hate to end up in those wings
He hasn’t seen his family for family but you took someone’s life forever how about that?

Send American prisoners here for a week and it would make them appreciate how good they have it. I saw a guy whining in front of an American judge that he didn't get enough dental work done and didnt have internet access and was suing the prison.
This is a prison for animals. I believe the president has some shady stuff in his days.
I believe they can at least have yard a soccer game
Prisoner do have human rights.. new gang members are not going to get tattoos.. I don't believe everything that president is doing is right.
These are Criminals with No Brain… You have to be smart when you became a Criminal…
How cruel. Give them blankets and some work to do.
Have no remorse for these people just like they had no remorse when they committed the crimes.
I’d be getting myself out in the solitary cell just to get some alone time.
When you were not raised by a family, Biblical principles, Morals…
Mandatory religious output from each prisoner doesn't sound good.
If the guards dont have gas masks, they're screwed, everyone's getting out.
This documentary is such bull crap. How do you translate "vamonos" into " no no interviews we're going" I can't stand manipulating, lying media with a passion. Bukele could've found a cure for cancer and bull crap media would still find something wrong with it.
Imagine how tough you have to be to be the warden of that prison.
"5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." John 14
"32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8
repent my brothers and sisters, only JESUS CHRIST saves.
The media already trying to taint the director. Why am I not surprised
Why does the thumbnail look like obama
I believe the inmate when he stated that some are innocent and are waiting to get their sentence. There are a lot of innocent people that are sent prison like here in the USA
Not all of them are gang members some were falsley accused of being in a gang and was thrown there with no evidence. Some innocoent even commited Suidide but covered up
I wouldn't trust any of those prisoners. What happens if and when he gets paroled? Will he go back to his old ways? Will he seek retribution for getting locked up?
Don't worry folks Kamala will welcome these young men into United States with open arms.
Say and think what you want, but this country is doing absolutely everything it can to protect its people, to crack down on crime and ultimately to protect their entire country. There are evil men and this world and sometimes you must fight evil with evil.
Where's part 2?
Hasta el resto de asesinos en esa celda se mueren de la risa al ver y oír con que desfachatez miente el asesino que dice que están allí presos pero que son inocentes.
Is there any other prisons like this , kind of like escape plan ennit ?
💜💪
Didi hear that right?! Civil rights activists are complaining about their rights?! They are killers….they lost all their rights!
Ok… Whatever your feelings about the prison… If there is no transparency or ability for prisoners to say what they wish about the conditions (without fear of reprisal) then do NOT pretend otherwise. Do not go through the farce of an "interview" where the prisoner spouts lines that sound like he is reading from a script the warden wrote.
That brings up the key point .. I am completely unnerved by how well-behaved those gangbangers are… Like more obedient and eager to please than wardens can achieve in prisons where guards will admit people are tortured on a regular basis.
They are acting super content with crazy overcrowding, steel bins for beds and no distractions whatsoever. Anyone who knows jack squat about how compliant hardened criminals are with authority has to be wondering what on earh they are doing to them to keep them compliant.
If you choose to make compromises on human rights then look them in the eye and admit what those compromises are. If something unspeakably awful is happening back there which the people of El Salvador would not condone… then it will nonetheless be their responsibility for being complicit by not asking questions.
These men may have committed heinous crimes. I guarantee there are some innocent men in there. That place is hell on earth. That is no joke. They are treated like animals. Worse than animals.
what a bunch of beta 93's.
I give it a couple of years…. The prisoners will be running that place
This idea is amazing. Why don’t adopt it in some countries that are riddle with gangs!!
