The New Worst Prison On Earth

[kjellhl]

The murder rate has dropped from 5000-6000 per year to less than 200. People can now go out in the evenings and feel safe. Bukele is el Salvador of el Salvador

[TimelessWildlife]

This prison makes American prisons look like 5 star hotels

[jestnessj]

Whoever thought of that prison was DIRECTLY affected by the violence.

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!

[neednot]

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?"

[Dafotison]

From what I remember their president said that if any country pities them then they are free to take them 😂

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.

It was long overdue. Great work, Mr. President!

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!

[lordlopes]

Bukele really said:
"If the goverment of your country doesn't fight criminals, it's either ok with it or is partner with it.

[ZEN_RZ]

"Why is crime so low?"
"Because the consequences outweigh the crime"

[thseven]

OUTSTANDING!!!! USA needs to adopt this Process!!!

[duplicitouscanadian]

Aside from punishment, this has clearly worked as a deterrent. Bravo President Bukele, Bravo.

[michellaflavius]

Bukele said he'd clean up his country and he meant it. I love it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[wolfgangamadeusmozart]

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.

[NodicaCross]

BEST president EVER GOD bless you sir 🙏🙏🙏 watching from Trinidad and Tobago

[Truckerdaddy]

That's exactly what was needed at this time.

No games, no bullshit

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.

[jennyk]

Bukele saved his country. Not many leaders can truthfully say that. He also seems like a pretty cool dude.

If you act like a wild, ferocious animal, you get to live like one, in a cage.
