Think our prisons are crowded?
Then, these picture of a secret prison in El Salvador will prove you wrong. Sources have it that it was designed initially for a brief stay, like 72-hour. But many of its inmates have been there for years. The cells, each Being 12 feet wide and 15 feet tall are crammed with more than 30 people -all veterans of the country's vicious war between the MS-13 and M18 gangs.
The men in these inhumane cells are kept secret from public view, but a reporter from counter-culture magazine, VICE, managed to gain access to a police officer in El Salvador it with the aid of a police officer in El Salvador who is disgusted with the prisoners treatment hoping that the pictures taken will pressurize the government into improving their lives while incarcerated. The images portray the fallout from El Salvador's fragile truce following decades of near civil-war between the two powerful gangs.
