Something we could learn from

Let’s get him over here to refresh our prisons I think we would see a massive drop in reoffending

Did many of the inmates consider the human rights of their victims in the gang culture of drugs, extortion and human trafficking? Not so much, I imagine.

Being incarcerated for a Crime and serving a sentence for that Crime away from Society is the Correct form of Punishment.but to be Cruel and inhumane to any human being is not right its Cruelty for Cruelty,s sake and makes there Captives Criminals 2 wrongs do not make a right.

Didn't see any trans people.

That's how you set a standard for zero tolerance on Gangs and gang culture.

Good job.

Love it. Proper justice.

This is brilliant. Shove you human rights. They waved them when with the criminal lifestyle they chose. More of it please

Put Sam smith in there!

The gang tattoos not looking so cool anymore 😂

Human rights violations require human victims. These are sub human scum. They deserve even less than what they are getting

I'm torn. Enough these guys prob did terrible things but ya this is inhuman also. This looks like the worst place on earth

Hi boo boo Mask police updated end going is family 🏯🗼🗽☀️👀

I suspect re offending may not be as big a problem as in the UK or Europe

That’s how criminals should be treat.

That’s how to treat criminals 👍

Bet this is what they all dreamed gang banging would look like. Not so big and tough now are they 🤣😂

Can we have some of those prisons please?

Orwellian

NOT SO TOUGH NOW ARE YA?

What he'll is going on here . How will this change their ways

What is the point on existing in a cage for your entire life. Execution and exhile are more humane options than caging humans.

Good

It's almost like they're getting ready for the biggest ever human centipede.

Imperial Sky News can’t hold back its anger that El Salvador’s murder rate will be going down. Sky News loves depopulating the “lesser races.”

Specially since the president is a crypto currency fraudster

Could do with one in london

They are not” suspected “ gang members, they are in fact KILLERS .

Human rights...like sardines..this is un acceptable

Glad that President is cleaning up the place

👏👏👏

Good their crime is at a all time low and even getting lower! The people can walk the streets and not be killed for the first time in decades!

That's how its done well done!

Fair play to Bukele .. wish we had a leader with some balls to actually tackle problems

This is where the right wing of me comes out. This is how prisons should be run. These perps would put a bullet in your head for shits n giggles.

Dos presidentes se disputan mundialmente el título de mejor mandatario. El ucraniano y el salvadoreño.

So you lock comments on Andrew Tate article because you know you are liers. Shame on you and on your fake journalism. We know you westerners as the most hypocrites on earth. We know words like justice, equality and liberty are just flashy words...

Ni siquiera en Disney hay tan buena organización para el manejo de multitudes. El organizador de esa movilización hay que felicitarlo. Excelente.

Looks really good, the liberals will hate it so it must be good.

Fuck we have it easy in the uk prisons 😂😂

Beautiful country and lovely people. Great to see Bukele’s turning it’s fortunes around.

All American prisons need to be this strict.

That looks like a tough place to be, maybe the prisoners should start identifying as women

suspected? or convicted?

Should UK prisons emulate this type of punishment for violent criminals, gang members, and drug dealers?

Which gang were they in? They really look tough.🤔

What about all the human rights of everyone they have murdered, if you don’t want to get treated like this don’t join a gang.

👏👏👏👏 Same should happen here as our prisons are like Butlin’s Holiday Camps😡😡😡

Need one of these in Kent.

Should have prisons like that everywhere for the worst criminals ever

Bring them to the UK surely?

This is what we need here in the UK. No fucking about.

PresidencyZA CyrilRamaphosa MYANC Our_DA This is what SA needs! The 9th in the world SWAT team can achieve this in the Cape Flats, Westbury and Eldorado Park!

Our prisons should be run like this

Game over

Should do that with scumbags here

could send illegal migrants/asylum seekers there while applications processed

That’s not right.

Betcha Human Rights activists/signallers get nowhere near that place. And i bet they don't want to be
