The president of El Salvador launched an unprecedented war on the gangs that have long plagued the Central American country, arresting an astounding 65,000 suspects and building a huge new prison to hold them. It is astonishing to see. Let me tell you about it. The Mob Reporter here with news of the state of emergency declared one year ago, that allows special powers to root out street gangs that controlled many Salvadoran communities. They publicize the strict crackdown with in-your-face images, turning the strong-arm tactic into a slick, publicity campaign. El Salvador’s president, Nayib Bukele, boasts he now runs “the most criticized prison in the world.” It certainly has its critics, but also many fans. Have a look at this extraordinary facility in extraordinary circumstances. CREDITS: Music is “Brooklyn and the Bridge“ by Nico Staf // “New Horizon“ by Futuremono // “Polymetric Juggling“ by Divkid.
