Marty our ONLY difference of opinion is that it seems there was no due process to ensure they were all, in fact, tried and convicted criminals or gang members who SHOULD be incarcerated there.

It there are innocent undocumented or documented migrants among them...you cannot simply say...as Homan said some weeks back....."they are collateral damage" .

These folks are in that facility even if they should not be there. That is (hopefully) settled by due process.

You describe a nasty place built to rid El Salvador of its gang control and from what I saw, that is one secure place.

And FD...I am sure there are some like you describe....but from what I have read (no formal research mind you) kids join under pressure (used by gangs because of laws protecting juveniles) or because they see kids their age spending money and driving cars and want that.

If writing ever becomes work I think I'm going to have to stop
