Mega-prison receives first 2,000 prisoners in El Salvador

The first 2,000 gang members are transferred to the mega-prison "Terrorism Confinement Center" in El Salvador designed to hold 40,000 criminals. The mega prison was built on President Bukele's orders after he declared a "war" on gangs last March.



The new infraestructure, designed to hold up to 40,000 criminals, was inaugurated this month by the Salvadoran president. Nayib Bukele is waging a war against organised crime groups since March 2021.
