Why does this read like one gang is in charge and all other gangs are/will be imprisoned.
Then to hide the truth. The one remaining gang will be sophisticated and bend rules rather than kill and act violently.
It leads to a concern that anyone in the future that doesn't agree will be considered a gang member and imprisoned, without fair justice.
I say that based on the heavy restrictions imposed inside the prison. I hope I'm wrong and that it simply helps make the country safer.

Interesting you say that because I know someone who’s from El Salvador who got sentenced 15 years in those prisons for being an “accomplice” to a robbery by being the driver, but he was just a random dude who the gang members go into his car and made him drive. There is no justice system over there. It’s literally you’re guilty if they say you’re guilty.

Did he have full body tattoos including the face, like every single one of these people they arrested? Everybody says this.

I get what you're saying. And when i reread my comment it also sounded like that. But he wasn't tatted, or in a gang and he was an older man, in his 50's. And my friend even sends him money for his little medical shop he has over there. But trust me Im all for being tough on crime since it's really bad in Latin America. But the way they're doing it in El Salvador should have a SIGNIFICANTLY better justice system. Especially since they're going to host Miss Universe next year, so they're in a rush to do things.

You are literally just describing a government

Haha you're probably correct. The question is, what type of government.

This is just every country on earth though. It's usually better to have just one gang in charge, or ideally two going back and forth so neither gets too comfortable.
