El Salvador Jail is considered one of the most dangerous prisons in the world

The El Salvador jail is considered one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Last year, over 67,000 people were sent to this prison as part of a crackdown on criminal gangs. The conditions inside the prison are deplorable, with reports of torture, malnutrition, and neglect leading to the deaths of 153 prisoners. Many of the inmates were accused without evidence and were not convicted of any violence. Human rights groups are urging for action to address the mistreatment of prisoners and for transparency from the authorities. President Nayib Bukele has been called upon to address the situation.

Speaking of the most dangerous prisons in the world, the El Salvador jail tops the list. Not long ago a group of 67,000 people was sent behind bars here. Prisons as we know are places where offenders are brought in when they commit some crime. They are strictly disciplined within the premises, so that if and when they come out, they become a part of the society. But, in El Salvador jail, the conditions of the prisoners are so deplorable that many reportedly die within the correctional facility.

Last year in March, Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele waged a war against criminal gangs, following a sudden increase in violence. Following this, over 67000 people were arrested and put in the dreaded El Salvador jail. According to a report by Daily Mail, the authorities started constructing special confinements when the jails began running short. Almost 2000 men accused of gang violence were put in there.

Known as the cruellest jail to ever exist, the accused prisoners were reportedly herded like cattle, their head bowed, walking like zombies in bare torsos, with their hands and feet all shackled with chains. Tattoos were imprinted on their bodies, and every one of them looked like a carbon copy of the other. Latest reports suggest that unable to bear the pain and torture inside the El Salvador jail, about 153 prisoners have died in custody. Their dead bodies have been removed from the premises.
