I experienced the insecurity first hand as Salvadorean, we used to leave home not knowing if we were coming back, my neighbour and her teenage daughter were kidnapped, killed and found on black garbage bags on the side of the road, none one had the courage To ask what happed because if you did the MS13 could come and killed you too because guess who killed them, my other neighbour was shot and killed at this business because he couldn’t pay the money the Gang was asking. We had to pay the so called rent to the Gang to be protected from them … how non sense is that. They had a rule if you see or hear anything be quiet. They controlled who could come into the neighborhood. It was insane at that time to think things were going to change. We all had the option to be better and get a decent job but they choose not to. We don’t need to explain to anyone why we approve Bukele’s policy… I never in a million years thought that the situation in my country could get better but thank God it did and I am extremely happy and thankful.

@woth-th9gi Crook, Indio de Hollywood, Krueger, Greña. All MS13 leaders that were requested for extradition. All were somehow freed and found in Mexico.
I think a lot of people in the comments are missing the point. No one cares about the human rights of the criminals who murdered innocents. The human rights issue is that the military has power to imprison people without evidence or a trial, against the verdict of a judge, or based on anonymous tip-offs which could easily be someone trying to settle a personal issue. The concern is for the thousands of cases of innocent people imprisoned in these conditions, with some estimates being 1 in 6 people in the prisons are arbitrarily detained.
some people just have a hard-on for authoritarianism. i’m glad that the country is safer, but there are implications of a police state that should be addressed.
@@rni4069 There is no perfect society, they speak about a trade off and even the men that was wrongly arrested defends what Bukele is doing, they are the ones that lived before and after the changes. An outsider's opinion should hold no value on this. Even with some flaws that can be corrected with time, he is doing a way better job than the majority or literally all the other countries in the world.
You are missing the point. There will be collateral damage, but the way they were imprisoned was absolutely necessary to restore peace. Now, as for your concern about the innocent victims, why not ask them? The ones in this video and the ones I have read about were all understanding when they saw the improvement in their country after they have been released after being wrongfully arrested. Yes, life is not fair, but life in El Salvador is now much better. Ask any Salvadoran.
No one is missing the point. We simply don't care to use the same standards you use in your damn country. Go live your dream of democracy and let El Salvador live theirs.
I think its a good reason to in-prison considering country situation and they wear gang tattoo guilty or not. Its not normal situation in a country, it was the biggest disaster in a country and Bukele did what made it to work. For this country need to stabilise first, before allowing more human right acts.
IDK, but I will bet you money that Trump will be deporting prisoners and criminals first. So I am going to say Trump will be putting a bunch of people into this prison.
This is what happens when you take on the largest organized crime group in any country, the government. These thugs made the mistake of thinking they were the top mafia group in their country
The issue isn't "they're treating criminals like criminals". The issue is they have suspended everyone's constitutional rights. Many innocent people are ending up in prison or worse. You can sit there and support that kind of thing from the comfort of your desk chair, but you'd be singing a different tune if the police rounded up someone you care about and you never saw them again.

@@michaelyang3910 no justice system can be perfect. you have to weigh the options: some innocent people locked up for a couple months vs innocent people being murdered.....if you choose the second option as being the better one, I'm sincerely questioning your morality.
My aunt married an El Salvadoran man, and just came back from visiting El Salvador a couple of weeks ago. She said how much different the country was in the last 10 years when she last visited, from a country tensed with violence to a community where everyone is vibrant, happy and prospering. Where everyone can walk the streets and be safe. She said it is safer than where she lives in Orange County, CA.
Just remember that even by conservative estimates, around 10% of the inmates are falsely imprisoned. That means for example, in the picture at 0:13, out of the 41 people on the screen, around 3 or 4 of them are completely innocent and have had no relationship with the gangs *whatsoever* . During the crackdown on these criminal gangs, the police literally just imprisoned *anyone* who even just looked vaguely affiliated with gangs. If you were a person between the age of 15 and 40, and you had visible tattoos, *you were going to jail*, period, full stop. If you lived in the same apartment as a gang member, you were going to jail. If your neighbors said that they saw people who "looked like gang members" enter your home, you were going to jail. What is the exact number of innocent people jailed indefinitely with no trial date scheduled that you are willing to accept?
Do you think if you abuse people they will act better or worse. ? Do you think criminals will be more likely or less likely to have shoot outs with police if they know this is their fate?
@@BennyBlancoNL we don’t have to care what those would do anymore. Beside, we know what They’ve already did. Old Sufi proverb: those who do good to bad people, do bad to good people.
Well, it's justice if you believe that el Salvador has a 100% accurate and perfect justice system. And it is a violation of human rights, but that doesn't mean it isn't necessarily justice. Human rights is just a broad agreed upon standard of treatment. If you want to below that standard, justified or not, you just have to admit you are fine with violating human rights under certain circumstances and occasionally accidentally torturing innocents. Which is fine, bu5 don't be a pansy and pretend otherwise.
@@kc3reo I think you over-interpreted MY over simplified definition of “justice” lol. Regardless my point was the president of el salvador is sacrificing his dignity and of course violating some human rights to do what he thinks is best for his country. And overall they seem happy. Are innocent ppl being jailed. Yes. If i was falsely jailed would I cry injustice. Hell yes lol. But he is essentially picking the better of the two evils. Is jailing (arbitrary numbers) 100 innocent to prevent 1000 deaths necessary. He argues yes. Whether or not thats right is completely debatable and even I have some apprehension if we did the same in America to reduce rampant crime and gang violence. But he is the voice of the people (majority) and they seem satisfied (in el salvador not america)
Hello to all of El Salvador 🇸🇻 from Poland 🇵🇱. Am so impressed by the turnaround your country has done. Glad you can now live in peace and safety. Bless you all ❤
Bukele might not be the hero everybody wants, but he is the hero his country needs.

@@theone7491 There are no courts in El Salvador actually convicting these people. It's all for show. Even by conservative estimates, around 10% of the inmates in these prisons are falsely imprisoned.

There are people for whom the ONLY evidence of them EVER being a gang member is that they have tattoos. That is it. Nobody testified against them, nobody reported them to the police, none of the other gang members knew them, they had actual alibis and jobs and lived completely normal legal lives, but because they looked gang affiliated, that was enough for a conviction.
I dated a woman from El Salvador a long time ago who has fled the country because of what happened there. She had horrifying stories of childhood terror of gun battles and having to stack mattresses and wood up against the doors and windows to hopefully stop stray bullets and she always heard people dying or getting shot. I am so happy for her home country now. Perhaps she can go back and visit her remaining family in peace.

I'm from El Salvador and 42 Years Living in this beautiful country "USA" ,... I can Write a book of how the people from my country has suffer through the Years... Now is a whole new story, God Bless the President Nayib Bukele!!!
Did I miss something? I don't think the video ever suggests that these people are being treated in an undeserved way. It is however reasonable to question what justice should look like - we shouldn't become monsters ourselves in the course of enacting "justice." Think for instance of the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib.
There's alot of unseen logistics to this kind of thing , haiti doesn't have the ability to organize or fund anything. From what I've read they don't even have a government How could they build a prison or police force when they can't even build houses?
I’ve been traveling to El Salvador since 2013. When this facility was completed and filled in the last 5 years, the entire country changed dramatically. I now bring my family to travel with me. It is safe. The fear criminals have of this facility is no joke and they will not risk their freedom for a gang.
Human rights violations? Where were the human rights when these guys were massacring innocent civilians? Also, nobody there is innocent. All of them are identified by gang-affiliated tattoos, which is a kind of "you're in the gang or you're not" situation.
@lekevire Over 80k people have been arrested. 7000 innocent people have been released SO FAR. With a margin of error like this, YES, there are absolutely more innocent people in this hell hole. Tell me you didn't fully watch the video, without telling me you didn't fully watch the video.
Yea these guys are so brutal that I can’t imagine and certainly don’t want to! Sad though they probably have never experienced what it feels like to be loved.
At 3:20 Culver asks the inmate "you have to do those things or else you wouldn't..." expecting a response along the lines of "survive" or "be able feed your family" but the inmate just says "you wouldn't be a gangbanger". How do you think like that.
Constructing a prison-like "CECOT" is asinine. Having a huge prison population rate is a horrible thing to have in a country. Something should be done to cut down on the prison population while also freeing them to live their lives. Poor conditions and human rights are violated in those mega prisons, which is terrible. Think if it was you who was abducted by corrupt Salvadoran officers and forced to be sent to that facility. Just imagine. Imagine being caught and forced to live in SC for 15 days. Don't think about the likelihood, but imagine IF. Wouldn't you dislike it? And if you dislike it, wouldn't you protest against his punitive policies? May the current president of El Salvador go to hell when he dies.
No one cares!!! 90% approval rate. You don't live in el Salvador, clearly not from there. The blood of the thousands and thousands of innocent workers, children, men & women still cry out. Thank goodness for justice!!! El Salvador is free at last.
Seems to me like the criminals feel this is fair, the citizens feel it was necessary, and even the wrongly accused see the benefit from it. If the locals don't have an issue with it, then there is no issue.
why not? what is prison really for? surely, it isn't simply punitive and deterrent, there's supposed to be a "correctional" aspect to it. Treat a bunch of criminals like shit, and they're probably going to resume committing crimes and be regular guests. Provide some actual rehabilitation to deter people from committing crimes by giving them something better to do rather than offering punishment as the only course of action. Look at recidivism rates in somewhere like Scandanavian prisons versus US prisons.
There is SO much you have to know about this situation to comment on it. The people of El Salvador have been suffering since the civil war in the 1970's! Then, as people fled a HORRIFYING war they sought refuge in other counties and had to experience poverty and did what they could to survive. Young boys and men were introduced to gang culture and that eventually found its way back to El Salvador. With corrupt governments taking over as people tried to rebuild what such a senseless war took from them, violence was encouraged. Today the people of El Salvador are finally experiencing PEACE for the 1st time in about 50 YEARS, if you have something to say about human rights, I suggest that you look into the whole situation instead of just blindly yelling "HUMAN RIGHTS" at the top of your lungs. There may be a small percent of people in these prisons that did not personally commit a violent crime, but marking your body with those symbols means that you encourage and stand for what today is considered domestic terrorism in El Salvador. I have family that could not even go to college without permission from the "Homeboys" first otherwise, they would have gotten killed on their commute. These men did not care about the rights or quality of life of ANYONE around them. They would kill their own friends and family for stepping out of line or if the big guy told them to. Some people did slip through the cracks, and that is HORRIBLE. But, now that senseless violence is discouraged Salvadoran children HAVE A FUTURE. They do not belong to these criminals anymore. There is more tourism than ever, there are more jobs than ever and people don't have to be scared to go to work/school. Please consider that before getting on your soapbox. Thank you for reading
The problem is the innocent people that are wrongly getting imprisoned, I would not exchange my freedom as an innocent for a safer country. Would you have liked to be accused of crimes you never committed?
@@anon003 so you want criminals to massacre innocent people and then call it justice and feel good about yourself, got it sometimes you have to make tough decisions
I was born in el Salvador in the 2000 and I grew up hearing and witnessing what happened every day.

They are still better housed than most prisons around the world, so enough about their human rights. They sacrificed theirs when they took away the human rights of their fellow countrymen. If other drug producing, gang ruled, countries would do the 'Bukele Method' this world do a 180.

Omg I'm in tears . A leader that treats his civilians with dignity n respect. Has me in tears
I experienced the insecurity first hand as Salvadorean, we used to leave home not knowing if we were coming back, my neighbour and her teenage daughter were kidnapped, killed and found on black garbage bags on the side of the road, none one had the courage To ask what happed because if you did the MS13 could come and killed you too because guess who killed them, my other neighbour was shot and killed at this business because he couldn’t pay the money the Gang was asking. We had to pay the so called rent to the Gang to be protected from them … how non sense is that. They had a rule if you see or hear anything be quiet. They controlled who could come into the neighborhood. It was insane at that time to think things were going to change. We all had the option to be better and get a decent job but they choose not to. We don’t need to explain to anyone why we approve Bukele’s policy… I never in a million years thought that the situation in my country could get better but thank God it did and I am extremely happy and thankful. Do your research and see how cruel these individuals were to all of us
That’s really crazy I’m happy your country has become safe now. Now parents can feel safe their kids growing up their
Happy that you are safe now. sorry you had to go through that.

4:49 just a reminder. President Bukele did say that if other countries love the gang members that much, they're welcome to take them.
This is what the U$A did (does) with Venezuelans :))
The USA would love them for the next few months, the ones that don't get arrested for felony's will vote democratic, then it's game over when Trump comes into office then we have to deal with that law, order and protecting our citizens stuff.

I think a lot of people in the comments are missing the point. No one cares about the human rights of the criminals who murdered innocents. The human rights issue is that the military has power to imprison people without evidence or a trial, against the verdict of a judge, or based on anonymous tip-offs which could easily be someone trying to settle a personal issue. The concern is for the thousands of cases of innocent people imprisoned in these conditions, with some estimates being 1 in 6 people in the prisons are arbitrarily detained.
some people just have a hard-on for authoritarianism. i’m glad that the country is safer, but there are implications of a police state that should be addressed.
@@rni4069 There is no perfect society, they speak about a trade off and even the men that was wrongly arrested defends what Bukele is doing, they are the ones that lived before and after the changes. An outsider's opinion should hold no value on this. Even with some flaws that can be corrected with time, he is doing a way better job than the majority or literally all the other countries in the world.
You are missing the point. There will be collateral damage, but the way they were imprisoned was absolutely necessary to restore peace. Now, as for your concern about the innocent victims, why not ask them? The ones in this video and the ones I have read about were all understanding when they saw the improvement in their country after they have been released after being wrongfully arrested. Yes, life is not fair, but life in El Salvador is now much better. Ask any Salvadoran.
No one is missing the point. We simply don't care to use the same standards you use in your damn country. Go live your dream of democracy and let El Salvador live theirs.
I think its a good reason to in-prison considering country situation and they wear gang tattoo guilty or not. Its not normal situation in a country, it was the biggest disaster in a country and Bukele did what made it to work. For this country need to stabilise first, before allowing more human right acts.
Better those guys inside than outside with society.

The issue isn't "they're treating criminals like criminals". The issue is they have suspended everyone's constitutional rights. Many innocent people are ending up in prison or worse. You can sit there and support that kind of thing from the comfort of your desk chair, but you'd be singing a different tune if the police rounded up someone you care about and you never saw them again.

Just remember that even by conservative estimates, around 10% of the inmates are falsely imprisoned. That means for example, in the picture at 0:13, out of the 41 people on the screen, around 3 or 4 of them are completely innocent and have had no relationship with the gangs *whatsoever* . During the crackdown on these criminal gangs, the police literally just imprisoned *anyone* who even just looked vaguely affiliated with gangs. If you were a person between the age of 15 and 40, and you had visible tattoos, *you were going to jail*, period, full stop. If you lived in the same apartment as a gang member, you were going to jail. If your neighbors said that they saw people who "looked like gang members" enter your home, you were going to jail. What is the exact number of innocent people jailed indefinitely with no trial date scheduled that you are willing to accept?

I wouldn't want to be falsely accused in there but they self identify with their tattoos
Well, it's justice if you believe that el Salvador has a 100% accurate and perfect justice system. And it is a violation of human rights, but that doesn't mean it isn't necessarily justice. Human rights is just a broad agreed upon standard of treatment. If you want to below that standard, justified or not, you just have to admit you are fine with violating human rights under certain circumstances and occasionally accidentally torturing innocents. Which is fine, bu5 don't be a pansy and pretend otherwise.
@@kc3reo I think you over-interpreted MY over simplified definition of “justice” lol. Regardless my point was the president of el salvador is sacrificing his dignity and of course violating some human rights to do what he thinks is best for his country. And overall they seem happy. Are innocent ppl being jailed. Yes. If i was falsely jailed would I cry injustice. Hell yes lol. But he is essentially picking the better of the two evils. Is jailing (arbitrary numbers) 100 innocent to prevent 1000 deaths necessary. He argues yes. Whether or not thats right is completely debatable and even I have some apprehension if we did the same in America to reduce rampant crime and gang violence. But he is the voice of the people (majority) and they seem satisfied (in el salvador not america)

It is safe. The fear criminals have of this facility is no joke and they will not risk their freedom for a gang.
Based off the numbers given, 9% of these prisoners are innocent. Thats a pretty atrocious margin of error coupled with human rights violations.
Human rights violations? Where were the human rights when these guys were massacring innocent civilians? Also, nobody there is innocent. All of them are identified by gang-affiliated tattoos, which is a kind of "you're in the gang or you're not" situation.
@lekevire Over 80k people have been arrested. 7000 innocent people have been released SO FAR. With a margin of error like this, YES, there are absolutely more innocent people in this hell hole. Tell me you didn't fully watch the video, without telling me you didn't fully watch the video.
When they started treating people like objects they lost the right to human rights
Yea these guys are so brutal that I can’t imagine and certainly don’t want to! Sad though they probably have never experienced what it feels like to be loved.
At 3:20 Culver asks the inmate "you have to do those things or else you wouldn't..." expecting a response along the lines of "survive" or "be able feed your family" but the inmate just says "you wouldn't be a gangbanger". How do you think like that.
I think the inmate just kind of assumed he understood the link there. If you aren’t a gang banger, then you’re a victim when gangs run the street
because they grew up in extreme poverty and don't know what else to cling onto.
@@rossrenfro1738 most poor people don' turn to crime and murdering people, you're pretending like they had no choice
Constructing a prison-like "CECOT" is asinine. Having a huge prison population rate is a horrible thing to have in a country. Something should be done to cut down on the prison population while also freeing them to live their lives. Poor conditions and human rights are violated in those mega prisons, which is terrible. Think if it was you who was abducted by corrupt Salvadoran officers and forced to be sent to that facility. Just imagine. Imagine being caught and forced to live in SC for 15 days. Don't think about the likelihood, but imagine IF. Wouldn't you dislike it? And if you dislike it, wouldn't you protest against his punitive policies? May the current president of El Salvador go to hell when he dies.
Idk man not having gangs anymore seems great. Salvadorians seem really happy
wow you sure love having bots liking your comments
What about having a huge population as gangster? Please tell us about that.
No one cares!!! 90% approval rate. You don't live in el Salvador, clearly not from there. The blood of the thousands and thousands of innocent workers, children, men & women still cry out. Thank goodness for justice!!! El Salvador is free at last.
Bro is definitely part of a gang
Can't believe this guy finally solved the gang problem in the country. All they had to do was put them in jail.
Seems to me like the criminals feel this is fair, the citizens feel it was necessary, and even the wrongly accused see the benefit from it. If the locals don't have an issue with it, then there is no issue.
the comment I was looking for
Want a new system like this inna Jamaica with prisons and end corruptions 🇯🇲
Fully
Neither andrew nor mark has this much balls,there nothing but puppets.
@@samoisfacey6998which is a shame. andrew fi guh inna di prison 2
Prison should never be comfortable
why not? what is prison really for? surely, it isn't simply punitive and deterrent, there's supposed to be a "correctional" aspect to it. Treat a bunch of criminals like shit, and they're probably going to resume committing crimes and be regular guests. Provide some actual rehabilitation to deter people from committing crimes by giving them something better to do rather than offering punishment as the only course of action. Look at recidivism rates in somewhere like Scandanavian prisons versus US prisons.
Wrong. You guys don't even get good results. Most people aren't in prison for murder or rape.
At least 1% of them is innocent and throwed there because someone in power dont like them
That is the flaw here. 40,000 capacity isn't just for MS13
Well done President Bukele, the world needs more men like you.
There is SO much you have to know about this situation to comment on it. The people of El Salvador have been suffering since the civil war in the 1970's! Then, as people fled a HORRIFYING war they sought refuge in other counties and had to experience poverty and did what they could to survive. Young boys and men were introduced to gang culture and that eventually found its way back to El Salvador.
With corrupt governments taking over as people tried to rebuild what such a senseless war took from them, violence was encouraged. Today the people of El Salvador are finally experiencing PEACE for the 1st time in about 50 YEARS, if you have something to say about human rights, I suggest that you look into the whole situation instead of just blindly yelling "HUMAN RIGHTS" at the top of your lungs.
There may be a small percent of people in these prisons that did not personally commit a violent crime, but marking your body with those symbols means that you encourage and stand for what today is considered domestic terrorism in El Salvador.
I have family that could not even go to college without permission from the "Homeboys" first otherwise, they would have gotten killed on their commute. These men did not care about the rights or quality of life of ANYONE around them. They would kill their own friends and family for stepping out of line or if the big guy told them to.
Some people did slip through the cracks, and that is HORRIBLE. But, now that senseless violence is discouraged Salvadoran children HAVE A FUTURE. They do not belong to these criminals anymore. There is more tourism than ever, there are more jobs than ever and people don't have to be scared to go to work/school.
Please consider that before getting on your soapbox.
Thank you for reading
The problem is the innocent people that are wrongly getting imprisoned, I would not exchange my freedom as an innocent for a safer country. Would you have liked to be accused of crimes you never committed?
@@anon003 so you want criminals to massacre innocent people and then call it justice and feel good about yourself, got it
sometimes you have to make tough decisions
Im surprised CNN did a better unbiased coverage on El Salvador than Vice news
Exactly how we should be handling business in America! The President of El Salvador has really cleaned the country up..
Turn the internet off gramps and go outside.
President Bukele is only real leader that actually love his country.
I’m Salvadoran and Bukele has been a God sent!! VIVA BUKELE 👏👏👏👏
Finally a good unbiased report from CNN !!
LOL
Not unbiased. Listen carefully.
I was born in el Salvador in the 2000 and I grew up hearing and witnessing what happened every day. Employees had to pay rent to the gangs, in every part of the country, and you couldn’t go to other neighborhoods of the other side of the gangs because they would kill you if you did. It was horrible.
They are still better housed than most prisons around the world, so enough about their human rights. They sacrificed theirs when they took away the human rights of their fellow countrymen. If other drug producing, gang ruled, countries would do the 'Bukele Method' this world do a 180.
He said it's not a hotel 5 star , he said it backwards,Sad all those tattoos and what it represents, he also seems resigned to his fate
I'd rather be there than a prison in the US where they get gay with each other
💯💯💯💯💯
True, many prisons out there where these guys would be packed like sardines in a tiny cell forced to eat spoiled food and crawl on dirty and nasty floors.
This is an excellent piece of storytelling
Imagine what a country like this could do with the finances of the US
Look at Haiti and will understand. They want all of us killed.
If only the same policies were applied in Mexico with all those cartels, countless of innocent lives could be saved.
they will be thinking about it once Trump starts putting all those illegals in their country that they let cross, to get into America
I guess killing people is a violation of human rights too, no?
A noble man who loves his country. He change El Salvador to be better with a brave heart.
These human rights groups expressing concern for these demons sounds really suspicious
Yeah they're under the WEF who want high crime rates around the world.
They should take them into their homes since they care so much
human rights? this guy needs to experiance these gangs, then let him talk.....
