David Culver reported on El Salvador's high-security CECOT prison, detailing how it now houses deportees from the U.S., including alleged gang members. The prison, which is compared to seven football stadiums in size, is designed to keep inmates in harsh conditions akin to those of convicted gangsters. Deportees experience a lack of privacy, crowded communal cells, and inadequate furniture. Culver's reports emphasize the extreme measures, including jamming signals around the prison, and the facility's role in accommodating over 20,000 prisoners, highlighting its controversial status in the region.
Culver highlighted CECOT's significance, stating it's the "mega prison" holding deportees from the U.S., including those labeled as gang members by the Trump administration.
The deportees' conditions mirror those of convicted gangsters, living in shared, overcrowded cells without privacy or basic comforts like mattresses.
