People actually moving back to El Salvador! And tourists coming to visit the beautiful country! This is fantastic and the way to deal with evil. Much respect to president Bukele!
No Prisoners....... The place is EMPTY they shipped them all to the U.S. at the request of G. Soros, B. Obama and the Democrat political Whores which they own .
I’m a Salvadoran, in fact I just recently went on vacation there and let me tell you that once Nayib Bukele took over office, the country has been very different. We used to visit and gangs were such a bad situation. This man has done a lot and changed a lot, proud of his work and proud to say my home country president turned a country that was in such ruins into a safe and amazing place to visit!
@@buljo5150 And funny enough,he said this after a guy from Brazil asked him how to deal with crime. Being Brazil one of the biggest in crime rate and a worse copy of USA😐
For many years I worked as a secretary in a law firm in Washington, DC. Our attorneys used to do pro bono work (free legal services). We had a young man from El Salvador as a pro bono client. He had been harassed by the gangs to join but he wouldn't. So they kidnapped him and beat him up, they cut his throat and left him for dead. However, they didn't cut deep enough for him to die. He woke up on a rural road and was able to walk a few miles until he encountered a roadside market. He got help to clean himself up and the people gave him bus fare to the city where he was able to contact his mother. She fled to a larger city with his two other brothers. Later they smuggled him into the U.S. He was enrolled in a local high school and our attorneys were helping him with his asylum case. He had a scar on his neck from ear to ear. He wasn't even 18 years old. They did all of that because he wanted to study and go to church, he didn't want to be a gang member. No body should be able to do that type of violence against other people and not suffer any consequences.
That story is awesome! God was with this man. This is off topic but a young 17yr. old El Salvador man was outside of a motel in Florida talking to his mother on his cell and eating a sandwich. A white cop pulled up and asked him what he was doing. The young man said he didn't speak English well and said he was waiting to hear from the courts if his asylum was accepted. The cop started frisking him for no reason at all the the boy didn't understand why and he started walking off and then the cop yelled at him and took him to the ground while the boy was saying he was sorry. Then the cop called other cops to come and they all piled up on this boy. The cops that initially detained him died of a heart attack while on top of the boy. Now this young man is in jail awaiting trial for first degree murder. Here in the U.S. it's the cops that are the gangs.
@@tiahenry4743 Blame the military industrial complex for all these unending wars. In other words, a lot of our cops are ex military. They don't know how to do anything but brutalize people.
in an interview, El Salvador's president said : "a lot of people has been protesting about the human rights of those criminals, but what about the human rights of the victims?"

@@billyholland5618Sure, but is the solution to a problem shifting the responsibilites to someone else? Not in my book and quite frankly, this has done better for the world. It sets the precedent that punishing crime does work, despite what recent western policy makers would have you believe.
They are in the honeymoon phase of authoritarianism where the leader fixes their problems. but they will soon become the problem. police can do whatever they want, and the leader is a supreme leader who can throw away anyone he doesn't like into prisons like these. He's already imprisoned hundreds of environmental activists as well as anyone who has spoken against him, mainly journalists.

My mother said when she was a little girl that she couldn’t even be allowed to go the store outside by herself after 5 PM. And forget about being outside in the nighttime because you just asking to get hurt or robbed. She is so happy with the changes that the new president has done. It’s kind of the reason why people left the EL Salvador in the first place.
So here is another twist. The president is locking up everyone who committed any crime. You stole a chocolate bar. See ya later. And even locking people up who just looked like a gang member. Oh you got tattoos. Lock him up. My friend who is a refugee in Canada from El Salvador. Has said what he doing is wrong. Yes the streets are safer. But if you even speak out. You get locked up. Spoken from a man who is born and raised from El Salvador. Worked for the police force there for 20 years
Yeah my country went trough a similar era and the solution isn't to do this it is to get a better public security chief because the one right now isn't doing his job
My dad was born in El Salvador and he supports Nayib Bukele for building this prison and capturing the criminals. Now it'll be safe for me and him to visit his country and see his family.
I came down to Panama highway in 1974 and I never met more beautiful smiling faces and a countryside that just went on forever and ever but I knew I was on a little strip of land in between two oceans. It didn't feel like it because these people had so much love and smiling faces that it just hurts me to know what happened to them during their War of revolution in the 80s and what happened after that with MS-13 and 18th Street. Those people don't deserve to be in that kind of situation
My cousin’s best friend was tortured, shot & hung from a bridge nearby by the gang members bc he didn’t have “rent” money. I’ve heard HORROR stories. SMH. President Bukele made it safe for his people to return home. 🙏🏽
And that is exactly why their lights don’t turn off, and their beds aren’t comfy, how dare someone do such a thing and live comfortably. I hope they all feel sleep deprived forever 😐what a gruesome way to go..
It works don’t it? And besides, think about what kind of crimes you have to commit to end up here. People were so scared by gangs in Salvador, the shift from when the crime rate was changing from high to low was astounding; imagine being so violent your presence being gone is such a dramatic shift.
That's the unfortunate truth. Many people are too idealistic thinking that doing this the Nordic way is the only way when those are rich countries with low crime.
Has arrested 10s of thousands without probable cause and no court date in sight. Family members and even neighbors of gang members that are Middle Ages men are in prison for mere association. Also violated the constitution by running for a consecutive term, which isn’t allowed in El Salvador. Guys a dictator…you can come back to this comment in a few years..

They did that too. Read up on it . Priest,teachers, nuns and all those crooked workers that were helping the gangs are also in jail with the hardcore murderers and rapists. Bukele is definitely a one of a kind leader.
This is what prison should be for the absolute worst monsters in society. The stories I've heard these gangs do is gruesome, to say the least. Good on Bukele for getting crime down and making society safer for everyone.
I've known probably a few thousand cartel members, mostly ms13. This is a mercy compared to what they do. It's an insult to call them sub-human, because it's shameful to compare them with anything resembling humanity.
@@agoodpitch9Exactly, no one ever talks about the Danish model of prisons where your still allowed to keep your day job and report back to prison outside your scheduled hours. Less recitivism. We dont care about that here.
Because unlike the USA ,they DGAF about you if you do something bad. They lock you up and throw away the keys. There would be way less crime here.if they stopped giving only fines, probation, and early release.
As a Salvadoran when I went back to the country for the first time I noticed the people no longer lived in fear of gangs.the people in these prisons 100% deserve to be there due to making the country live in fear

@@kokujin5446 Their way of cleaning street was to arrest every person that even looked like they were in a gang. You're ignorant at best if you think a lot of innocent people didn't get caught in that. On top of that, Nayib Bukele stripped the people in El Salvador of their rights. Right to a lawyer, gone. Right to due process, gone. Right to assemble, gone. On top of so much other stuff. Checks and balances in government? Gone. Like, you all applaud this cleanup but in reality it was just an excuse for Nayib to claim more power.
Violent deaths per capita in El Salvador were at the same level as in war zones around the world. On the last day, the government gave the criminals to surrender, they killed 60 civilians, and with that, they sealed their fate.
That sounds more like a civil war. Apparently they're were enough citizens who weren't pleased with the "regular life options" available. Then again, a very small%of bad 🍎 can f up a bunch... what was the balance of "gangs" : "civilians"?
America needs a president like him. He’s genuinely one of the best leaders in modern times. Huge respect for Bukele. I mean he literally took the most dangerous country on earth and made it one of the safest within less than a single year. He’s got balls I’ll definitely say that.
@@FLUIDITY_O ah so you know the other side of this entire thing? like for example they have removed entirely fair trial and the presumption of innocence in there? like for example Salvadorans know that once a person is taken to this prison, they will not get out again, even if they have not been sentenced. and worst part is: just anonymous call is enough. “They accused me through an anonymous phone call,” says a 26-year-old shopkeeper in San Salvador. “They took me out of my house. I was on my way to work. In the police report, they said that they had caught me in another place, that I was with a small group of people from the MS[-13]. I asked the Attorney General’s Office to correct that, because they took me out of my house, and I don’t know those people”. The woman, who has requested anonymity, is one of the lucky few to be released after spending six months in the Ilopango women’s prison and then the Apanteos prison. When they came to my house, they asked me for my name…[and] my ID. They told me, ‘You don’t appear in the system; let’s go [to the police station] to see what happened.’ I told them I was fine. Before I left I told my mom, ‘I’ll be right back.’ But that was a lie. I didn’t come back,” she says. The saleswoman left behind her one-year-old son, whom her mother took care of while she was in prison. “In there, I met several women who also ended up there because of a phone call. Many who weren’t involved in anything, nothing at all,” she says. “If a person didn’t like you, after one phone call, they would bring you in, without any more proof.” -Did you ever find out who accused you? -Ugh, yes. And that girl is still bothering me,” says the woman. The policeman who arrested me told me that she insisted and insisted that I be brought in. She called several times. And after I was released, she called again…She even posted it on Facebook. That’s why I was arrested”.
If you recognise that something done to you is bad, then doing it to someone else is just as bad or even worst. This sentence does not make sense or is deceptive.

It might be a bit of a hot take, but nobody should have their human rights stripped away and the fact that a criminal does unforgivable things doesn't justify the government doing the same.
The truest definition of “prison” I’ve ever heard of. Smart is that once taken off the street, the rest of society never has to worry about them ever again. 👏🏽
You forgot to mention that the president has threaten to cut off food to inmates if any violence occurs in the country by the gangs. It’s definitely a deterrent for any further violence.
@@melissadespain3686oh no, I mean in the US prisons are like training for criminals, and they have more rights Due to “human rights”. In an interview the president literally said “you think we treat the gang members too harshly, you think they deserve rights? You can have them, you can take all of them” 😂
@@melissadespain3686 You're insane. This is inhumane treatment. Add prison labor and we're back to slavery. Wait until some El Salvadorean president starts using these prisons for his political opponents. See if you still think it's a great idea then.
Japan is another good example, strict punishments and public prosecutors have a 99% (!!!) conviction rate. Japan isn’t perfectly safe, but it’s safe enough that people can wander around Tokyo late at night without worrying about getting assaulted/mugged (good luck trying that in NYC). People even sell drinks out of unlocked/unmanned refrigerators on the side of the street with a payment bowl inside. It wouldn’t take 2 minutes for the money to be stolen in NYC and it wouldn’t take 10 minutes for the drinks to all get stolen. Strict punishment for crimes is bad for criminals and the wrongly accused, but it’s a boon for the rest of society.
They also have to serve their entire sentence. There’s no such thing as parole. If you’re sentenced to 25 years, you have to do the whole 25 years. If you’re sentenced for the rest of your life, you’re in there for the rest of your life.
I solo backpacked through Central America 10 years ago. The only country I skipped was El Salvador. My daughter had friends from there and begged me to skip it. Two years ago, I did a solo trip there. I used public transportation and visited many places around the San Salvador. I met people who returned to El Salvador from the US, and they said many of their relatives want to return but are still too afraid.
No we don’t… our justice system is incompetent. They care more about conviction rates than actual truth and justice. Leads to innocents convicted and guilty people getting deals.

Innocent inmates,Highly doubt it because they tattoo the gang name on their bodies cause thats how proud they are, but it ended being their demise cause it gave them away when the president staeted after them. Also, the people of the towns know the families affiliated with the gang cause most towns people had to pay the gang a "fee" weekly or monthly for living in their turf.

As an aside, the UN complained to the president saying that the human rights of those prisoners were being violated. Rights that the UN never protected when gangs reigned with violence and blood in most of the country.
Then the UN should of helped then when they needed the help and support El Salvador, now they have the solution the UN thinks they can just walk in and say it’s a “Violation” of their rights. No one cares. Maybe if UN countries did this they would have much better crime rates. Idiots. Good for El Salvador 🇸🇻

Same, I am in the USA now (legally, Trump 2024!) I went home in January and I could not believe the change. It was the first time being home in 6 years. I almost wanted to stay.
My brothers girlfriend is Salvadoran and she said her family was stuck here(Texas) because going back is essentially chasing death. This year her mother and father and my younger brother and several of her family went back, had a blast, in non-tourist areas, visited family some hadn’t seen in years, others ever. So to those who feel this is inhumane, okay, so ignore the dead and victimized by these actual criminals, right, what about the innocents who literally couldn’t return home? See family? Enjoy their home, enjoy their neighborhood, walk down the streets in their own country. In their own city, in their own neighborhood. Why should violent offenders be treated softer as the innocent suffer, for the violent offender? What right do they have the innocent don’t? To choose their comfort is to choose discomfort for the masses. It’s amputation, and it looks to be clearly effective. A limb was broken and infected, it was amputated, now the body is without it, but healthier.

I think people werent so upset about the prisons, but that they’re arresting anyone who looks like a gang member and that they’re not giving anyone proper trials. At least a couple of the people you see in this video are innocent people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, subjected to this torture.
For anyone wondering, this a no leave prison. Once your in your DONE, like you will NEVER be released. It's a prison specifically designed for life sentencers. (edit): if your all annoyed with my comment, why do you all keep liking and responding to it?

That's true! So many of them have, in private, gotten themselves ensnared because they thought that they could use their Position of Power to their advantage...but what they didn't realize, is that somebody was always watching them...and then the entrapped person struck a deal with them, in order to keep from being exposed. They forgot, too, that there was always someone else who was watching them. Almighty God! Unless they make their wrongs right, they'll stand before Almighty God, and they'll give an account for their evil deeds. And-If they think that this new Prison is bad, wait until they're cast into The Lake of Fire and Brimstone, for all Eternity! They'll wish with all their heart, that they'd never sinned! Unfortunately, it'll be too late!
Keep in mind, this isn't a prison for first time offenders. Those who have caused terrible offences get to go through the humane prisons as a way to reform. And when you just won't learn even after years in a correctional institute, that is when your humanity is stripped, because you have nothing humane left within yourself. This prison is a last resort. It has come to this. It wasn't some rushed idea
Can agree but prisons in the US aren't filled with people who have done those kinds of crimes in fact the kind of people in this prison barely make up I think it was 5 or 10% of most of a prisons population large majority are in for the most petty and stupid things that you would understand why people don't like the idea of the US ever having prisons like this because then it makes you pray they never can put you in prison for even a tiny purse robbery or missed bills
A RUclipsr called "Luisito Comunica" had the chance to visit that prison, and in one part of the video he shows a group of the criminals doing exercises and one of the guards tell him that that small group alone killed around 200 people. 💀 Yeah, there's a clear reason why they're there.

It was long overdue. Great work, Mr. President!
For many years I worked as a secretary in a law firm in Washington, DC. Our attorneys used to do pro bono work (free legal services). We had a young man from El Salvador as a pro bono client. He had been harassed by the gangs to join but he wouldn't. So they kidnapped him and beat him up, they cut his throat and left him for dead. However, they didn't cut deep enough for him to die. He woke up on a rural road and was able to walk a few miles until he encountered a roadside market. He got help to clean himself up and the people gave him bus fare to the city where he was able to contact his mother. She fled to a larger city with his two other brothers. Later they smuggled him into the U.S. He was enrolled in a local high school and our attorneys were helping him with his asylum case. He had a scar on his neck from ear to ear. He wasn't even 18 years old. They did all of that because he wanted to study and go to church, he didn't want to be a gang member. No body should be able to do that type of violence against other people and not suffer any consequences.
That story is awesome! God was with this man. This is off topic but a young 17yr. old El Salvador man was outside of a motel in Florida talking to his mother on his cell and eating a sandwich. A white cop pulled up and asked him what he was doing. The young man said he didn't speak English well and said he was waiting to hear from the courts if his asylum was accepted. The cop started frisking him for no reason at all the the boy didn't understand why and he started walking off and then the cop yelled at him and took him to the ground while the boy was saying he was sorry. Then the cop called other cops to come and they all piled up on this boy. The cops that initially detained him died of a heart attack while on top of the boy. Now this young man is in jail awaiting trial for first degree murder. Here in the U.S. it's the cops that are the gangs.

"Why is crime so low?"
"Because the consequences outweigh the crime"
Idk man, seems quite fitting
It works don’t it? And besides, think about what kind of crimes you have to commit to end up here. People were so scared by gangs in Salvador, the shift from when the crime rate was changing from high to low was astounding; imagine being so violent your presence being gone is such a dramatic shift.

@@FLUIDITY_O ah so you know the other side of this entire thing? like for example they have removed entirely fair trial and the presumption of innocence in there? like for example Salvadorans know that once a person is taken to this prison, they will not get out again, even if they have not been sentenced. and worst part is: just anonymous call is enough.
“They accused me through an anonymous phone call,” says a 26-year-old shopkeeper in San Salvador. “They took me out of my house. I was on my way to work. In the police report, they said that they had caught me in another place, that I was with a small group of people from the MS[-13]. I asked the Attorney General’s Office to correct that, because they took me out of my house, and I don’t know those people”. The woman, who has requested anonymity, is one of the lucky few to be released after spending six months in the Ilopango women’s prison and then the Apanteos prison.
When they came to my house, they asked me for my name…[and] my ID. They told me, ‘You don’t appear in the system; let’s go [to the police station] to see what happened.’ I told them I was fine. Before I left I told my mom, ‘I’ll be right back.’ But that was a lie. I didn’t come back,” she says. The saleswoman left behind her one-year-old son, whom her mother took care of while she was in prison. “In there, I met several women who also ended up there because of a phone call. Many who weren’t involved in anything, nothing at all,” she says. “If a person didn’t like you, after one phone call, they would bring you in, without any more proof.”
-Did you ever find out who accused you?
-Ugh, yes. And that girl is still bothering me,” says the woman. The policeman who arrested me told me that she insisted and insisted that I be brought in. She called several times. And after I was released, she called again…She even posted it on Facebook. That’s why I was arrested”.

It wouldn’t take 2 minutes for the money to be stolen in NYC and it wouldn’t take 10 minutes for the drinks to all get stolen.

and he should be an example for other nations. but no, other nations want to call foul. which just proves that those nations prefer their criminals to the law abiding.
As an Salvadorian here, bro this is so gamechanging! Sometimes i would hear shootings outside! And now not even in the radio murder cases can be heard!
It's amazing you guys got a leader who took personal care for his country.
You got that right! Our U. S. Prisons are a joke, compared to this new, and very strict, type of Prison! We here in the United States, need to be truly strict with our Prisoners like this Prison is! Our U. S. Prison System is a complete joke! When are the Lawmakers of the United States going to learn to crack down on the Prisoners, like they are in this Prison?
Now they are being sent here. Thank your president

@@erikanthes954 a common misconception outside of el Salvador is that CECOT is a first stage jail for those of accused of crimes. However, when the prison was built, ONLY validated gang members who had already been convicted of violent crimes were transferred there. No one there is a suspect, they are all validated, self admitted monsters
What have history told us about people who have the power to treat others like this, they will abuse that power! How many of these prisoners are in there just because some one with power wanted them out of the way or is making money out of locking up as many people as possible!
@michaeldunson2531 murder rate has dropped from 5000-6000 per year. To less than 200 hundred per year since they built this prison and locked up all those indide it. You can't argue with those statistics, it's clearly working.
@michaeldunson2531 99.4% drop in murder rates since locking all those criminals up so it's worked regardless what your bla bla history has told you.
The prisons in America should be filled with politicians.

What is wrong what all these kids bro why are you even alive if you think this is good
The sad part that now the world wants to condemn President Bukele for Human Rights Violations for putting all those inmates like that but the whole world forgot how their citizens were treated by those same criminals
Eff them. Like he said, “what about the civil rights of the person they killed”?
Fuck no they shouldn’t because they should just look back before president bukele was in office! I wanna go to El Salvador and shake that man’s hand and talk to him because I’m a criminal justice major
You have your own judiciary stand for it. Those human right group will mess up your country.
Ask yourselves, was the human right groups were corncern when these crimes were being comitted?

nah bro, I get what you saying, but there is a very valid reason why human rights violations exist in the first place.
There is a reason why even the worst criminal in the world deserves a defence and free and fair trial
Because out of all those inmates I 100% guarantee you a good portion of them are innocent
Bukele took the corruption out first which is where the crime starts! I just hope this keeps up after Bukele leaves! Stay in the Bukele path El Salvador👍😎

My brothers girlfriend is Salvadoran and she said her family was stuck here(Texas) because going back is essentially chasing death. This year her mother and father and my younger brother and several of her family went back, had a blast, in non-tourist areas, visited family some hadn’t seen in years, others ever.
So to those who feel this is inhumane, okay, so ignore the dead and victimized by these actual criminals, right, what about the innocents who literally couldn’t return home? See family? Enjoy their home, enjoy their neighborhood, walk down the streets in their own country. In their own city, in their own neighborhood. Why should violent offenders be treated softer as the innocent suffer, for the violent offender? What right do they have the innocent don’t? To choose their comfort is to choose discomfort for the masses. It’s amputation, and it looks to be clearly effective. A limb was broken and infected, it was amputated, now the body is without it, but healthier.
My parents and 2 younger siblings moved back 2 years ago and are thriving 😢 I miss them. Im just happy it's a safe country again. My mom would have never moved back otherwise.
My parents moved back home 2 years ago and we went for Xmas 2022 and had a blast! The feel was amazing it felt like going to Hawaii but with Latin flair and food 🎉 we took our 1 yr old (@ the time) and we’re thinking of going back for this Xmas with our daughter and our new baby! We would never do that if it wasn’t safe to go! I love my little country ❤ hubs and I will retire there one day!
Aren’t some of them actually innocent?? And were thrown in there because association or because they had tattoos?
@@tpbandz9873 So don’t associate. Don’t get tattoos that say “Yeah, I roll with MS13”? If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, and it’s hanging out with ducks, and it tastes like duck, and it smells like duck, I would guess, it’s probably a duck.
Disassociate yourself or genuinely die for all I’d care.
“But the gangs force them to join”
Okay. And now, the gang can’t force them to join. Because they’re all imprisoned. So that issue is solved. Sucks you have to break a couple eggs to bake a cake but I’ll trade “some potentially innocent” over a regular innocent civilian who wants to live and prosper in their country. I don’t understand what’s so hard to understand about this. Or why people care about the 1/1000 “potentially innocent” gang member, over the 1000/1000 innocent actually not gang members. If that’s what you’re concerned about, for the safety of the criminally inclined, go be a fucking prison guard and see to their safety. But don’t come crying to me when you’ve been shanked 78 times and they’re laughing because you’re dying. Ignorant.
@@susanaamador Precisely my point. I want you, and Karla, and your families, your loved ones, whomever, to be able to visit, retire if you want, to have the option, if you want, to return. I don’t want people to turn on the news and see their neighborhoods in flames, gangs roaming the bleeding streets, and violence reigning supreme. Bukele is a stand up man, a hero of the people. The just, good people.
Heard that human rights activists were raging at Bukele about the prisoners, to which he replied something like, "Oh, do you want them instead?" He's saving this country.
All other Latin American countries should follow their example !
I mean that's a fair response, but at the end of the day this is pretty cruel.
I don't feel bad for them or anything, but I can see why this could raise human rights issues.
@@tedgaetathey actually are.
I think people werent so upset about the prisons, but that they’re arresting anyone who looks like a gang member and that they’re not giving anyone proper trials. At least a couple of the people you see in this video are innocent people who were in the wrong place at the wrong time, subjected to this torture.
Please do explain how not letting them have pillows helps make the country safer.

The president of El Salvador said that they will go through more rigorous trialing afterwards so it's possible many of these people will be freed if they were innocent.
EXACTLY WHERE THE MAJORITY OF OUR POLITICIANS SHOULD BE!!
That's true! So many of them have, in private, gotten themselves ensnared because they thought that they could use their Position of Power to their advantage...but what they didn't realize, is that somebody was always watching them...and then the entrapped person struck a deal with them, in order to keep from being exposed.
They forgot, too, that there was always someone else who was watching them.
Almighty God!
Unless they make their wrongs right, they'll stand before Almighty God, and they'll give an account for their evil deeds.

Keep in mind, this isn't a prison for first time offenders. Those who have caused terrible offences get to go through the humane prisons as a way to reform. And when you just won't learn even after years in a correctional institute, that is when your humanity is stripped, because you have nothing humane left within yourself. This prison is a last resort. It has come to this. It wasn't some rushed idea
This is a proper prison.. you lose your human rights when you commit atrocious crimes against humanity.
Can agree but prisons in the US aren't filled with people who have done those kinds of crimes in fact the kind of people in this prison barely make up I think it was 5 or 10% of most of a prisons population large majority are in for the most petty and stupid things that you would understand why people don't like the idea of the US ever having prisons like this because then it makes you pray they never can put you in prison for even a tiny purse robbery or missed bills
