Así Reaccionaron Los Presos De La Cárcel Más Peligrosa De Bogotá A La Situación De El Salvador

The president of El Salvador, Nayib Bukele, has achieved worldwide fame thanks to his relentless fight against the dangerous gangs that operate in his country and for the construction of a mega-prison capable of housing up to 40,000 criminals. However, is this prison model really effective? The journalist Valentina Estupiñán enters a prison in Colombia and conducts a survey with the inmates, who show their concern about the inhumane conditions that exist in the prisons of El Salvador, focused mainly on punishment, compared to those focused on resocialization, as is the case of the prison he visits in Colombia. Although inmates in Colombia also acknowledge the existence of gangs and violence in their prisons, they disagree with the repressive approach that characterizes prisons in El Salvador, which they consider to be inhumane and a violation of human rights. In short, is a frontal fight against gangs the long-term solution to crime in El Salvador? Or should the country adopt more humanitarian and resocialization-focused approaches to reduce the crime rate?
