Prison For Notorious Gangs In El Salvador

Inside El Salvador's secretive prison pits where notorious gangs are crammed together like livestock in cells the size of a shed
Members of El Salvador's rival gangs the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and Barrio 18 (M18) are penned in cages that are only meant to be used for temporary stays
An estimated 50,000 Salvadorans belong to the street gangs that have terrified citizens and left this small Central American nation of 6 million with one of the world's highest murder rates
Prisoners..

Under the truce agreement, gang leaders imprisoned with their members are supposed to receive 'intimate visits' in jail - this is clearly not happening
