How is President Bukele's maximum security prison in El Salvador designed to address gang leadership?
President Nayib Bukele's maximum security prison in El Salvador is designed specifically to contain gang leadership, housing approximately 20,000 high-ranking gang members. The facility is characterized by strict order, uniforms, and the removal of identity markers (except for the gang tattoos prisoners already have). This prison represents a source of pride for Bukele's administration and symbolizes the government's aggressive approach to cracking down on El Salvador's notorious gangs and organized crime. The structured environment and containment strategy aim to neutralize the leadership's ability to control gang operations throughout the country.
