El Salvadors Mega Prison - Impossible to escape

Chilling footage shows the first hardcore gangbangers moved into a new mega-prison in El Salvador that President Nayib Bukele has boasted is “impossible to escape.”

Snaps from inside the Center for the Confinement of Terrorism — built by El Salvadoran officials hellbent on winning their war against violent street gangs — show heavily tattooed, barefoot and stripped-down inmates chained and kneeling shoulder to shoulder as heavily armed guards tower over them.

The prisoners are forced to crouch down with their hands behind their heads while chained inside the massive facility, which authorities claim is the largest in the Americas.

“This will be their new house, where they will live for decades, mixed up, unable to do any more harm to the population,” he wrote.

The prison, which is in Tecoluca, about 46 miles from the Central American country’s capital, San Salvador, will eventually house as many as 40,000 inmates in eight buildings, each with 32 cells that will hold about 100 prisoners each. Each cell has only two sinks and two toilets.
