El Salvador Mega Prisons For Deadly Maras Gang Members | Witness | Gang Violence Documentary


We gained exclusive access to the world’s biggest and toughest prison in El Salvador. Fifteen thousand prisoners are locked up here, most of whom will never leave alive. The prison is the symbol of a relentless crackdown on gangs by the 42-year-old president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele.

With more than 3,000 homicides per year for a…

  1. Een soort gelijk – CECOT moeten we ook hier in Nederland hebben. Ben je gelijk van het gehele gezeik af hier met al die overvolle gevangenissen en te weinig personeel in dit land. Alles moet op een Centrale-Positie – Rottumerplaat zeg ik dan een, eiland buiten de Kust op Ned. grondgebied tegen de Duitse zee grens aan – Oppervlakte: 7,82 km² – Daar ken je alles plaatsen met alles middelen die ze daar nodig zullen hebben, personeel, 10k sterk. Hele muur erom heen, Een Alcatraz style 3.0 ken je daarvan maken.

  2. I wonder what type of corruption is going on in this place that seems like every move is monitored but IDGAF where the prison is located I've never seen no type of corruption going on

  3. I don't think we should be so inhumane or abuse and abuser or even think that we are the evengers only God is. I really don't think it's ok to do that much like watching a slow torcher until death. Think if we all had to pay for our bad choices in life. Unless they are killers child abuser or child trafficking….I' don't know . I can see both sides but I wouldn't want to be held accountable later for returning the violence.

  4. I really don’t care how gang members are treated, but the is a right way and a wrong way to do things. The rule of law must be followed so innocent citizens are not caught up in jail without representation.

  5. This stuff with the quotas makes absolutely no sense whatsover. It benefits absolutely nobody and nothing and in fact ends up costing El Salvador more money than necessary so what is the reason they would do this? This video doesn't explain that. I live in New York city and here they give the cops quotas for traffic tickets. Why? Beause the city needs money and they make a ton of money on traffic tickets. Using innocents to fulfill quotas for arrests though makes no sense. Once you arrest and imprison someone you have to feed them, provide them with medical care, clothe them, house them, and lastly it does nothing to lower crime.

  6. Putting innocent people in jail is the price to pay to end violence??? Wtf?? They are no better than the gangs they are trying to get rid of, bloody disgusting. This will backfire eventually, just watch, in years to come lets see how the public still feel about this when the majority of their innocent family members are banged up, all to keep their numbers up. Corrupt as f,

  7. It's a great thing unless a cop is behind on his QUOTA and he's looking at you, it was obvious the good cop thought the school teacher was innocent and they didn't back down even when he showed the so called cop all the errors on warrant, only thing bad cop was interested in is telling all the guy had a camera, if he was so sure of her guilt why worry about camara?? I feel for school teacher, she is more useful than a Liar cop

  8. Arrest at all cost where even black mail is enacted sounds like privatized prisons which makes more money with more prisoners.
    Prisons must be filled, which is the reason for the quota.
    An unfair injustice.

    The United States have these same practices.

    But the great thing about the American justice system is no one has to sit long in jail before appearing in front of a judge.

    Most people get to see a judge within a day or twice in once week.

    Bail is mostly granted if eligible which is usually 10% when bonded.

  9. Does everyone here think that all arrested and detained were members of those two gangs? Did anyone here hear that mother say her son has been detained for over 18months? Did anyone here hear the police officer say he quit because they had/have a quota of arrests to fill. Does anyone hear realize that innocent people are being arrested and detained WITH murderous gangs for up to 2years without a hearing? What is happening to THOSE people while being detained…..and who will they be when, or if they are ever released. President Bukele said that their new facility is not at capacity…yet. Trump is rounding up immigrants – documented, undocumented, legal and illegal, even American citizens – and sending them where? Is that the connection? And which feels safer…being terrorized by ruthless murderess gangs in your own community…or….terrorized by your own government that is willing to sacrifice you as collateral damage on the road to prosperity? Hmmm, I don't know, let me think about that last one. Thought about it….neither one!

  10. What a new life for citizens that prior to locking them up, we’re terrified daily. Children unable to grow and play in the streets,. Now they can grow and make healthier choices and experience peace, not forced to join to survive. What horrid murders and tortures gangs did. They will have to stay locked up for generations, in order for gang structures to die out.

  11. This is the process Trump is copying. Not with true gang members, or criminals like himself, but with random Latin immigrants to the US. So they are at CECOT with these very dangerous inmates and no freedoms at a huge expense to American taxpayers. Little to no due process, imprisoned without proper cause. The USA is not El Salvador, although Trump wants us to think it is. Trump has engaged in kidnapping and human trafficking. He’s a domestic terrorist and his antics are unacceptable. Prayers for El Salvador.

  15. Deporting Venezuelan people in America to an El Salvadorian prison without due process, and then ignoring a federal judge's order to bring them back, is all kinds of illegal. Laws don't really matter anymore, so let's all eat cheap eggs.

  16. There were no innocent people arrested, there were people ranging from 12 to 80 YO that helped as lookouts, keeping hostages and even hiding their relatives from the police. That automatically makes you an accomplice to the gangs…

  17. The whole world watched the suffering of El Salvador as a nation, No country came to help when they decided to take care of this problem, and then all the human rights advocate starts to whine, Now El Salvador is safest country in central America.
