Abeg, make I yarn about wetin dey happen inside dis CECOT, wey dem dey call Terrorism Confinement Centre for El Salvador.

You fit imagine say dis mega-prison no be ordinary jail, e be like prison for nightmares! Inaugurated for February 2023, naim dis place don catch plenty wahala for president Nayib Bukele mind as e dey waka make gang members know say no be play dem dey play.

Dis prison dey hold 40,000 inmates, e no be small matter o! In fact, dem say na the largest prison for America. Wetin more? E dey cost $115 million US to build, and nah so dem fit cram many people for one space wey dey designed for only security, no be rehabilitation.

Outside, e dey look like ordinary prison, but inside, na different story. Cells dey no window, bunks na metal, and privacy? Forget am! Di inmates dey hear everywhere dem gatz put sink and toilet together with dem.

Dem report say space dey so small, say each inmate dey manage just 0.6 square metres. Normal standard suppose be at least three square metres, so you fit imagine how dem dey cramp up. Na serious matter how di prison dey use cameras and guards like say dem dey film movie for action.

In a recent episode of CBS‘s 60 Minutes, two guys wey don experience CECOT talk say dem dey torture plenty for inside de prison. One Venezuelan guy talk say dem dey punish am with sexual abuse and solitary confinement. Abeg, who wan go dey experience hell like dis?

Bukele, di president, don already catch the attention of the international community as him shout say na him dey save Salvadorans from gang wahala. But how him dey run him affairs don bring plenty questions. United States don send deportees wey dem talk say na gang members to CECOT without any proper trial. E no go sweet for person wey dey escape wahala for house just to enter another one for prison.

People don dey shout say humans dey treated like animals for that prison. Human Rights Watch and other organizations don calculate say dem fit describe how nah so plenty Venezuelans dey suffer under inhumane conditions, no food, no hygiene, and other basic necessities. Na serious matter o! Dem sabi wetin dem dey do, and dem try warn everybody, including UN.

To come top am again, na Trump administration don come shake table as dem dey use dis same setup to showcase how dey dey serious about immigration matter. Dem dey deport more than 200 immigrants, wey dem no even allow to challenge wetin dem dey claim about dem. People dey quick ask, wetin dey happen for fairness wey suppose dey for justice system?

As we dey talk dis matter, CECOT dey show how criminal justice system fit turn into serious wahala point. Na one chance wey people suppose fear, and as e be now, nobody know wetin go happen next!
