That’s wild. I wonder what that means in terms of aggregate labor capacity when that much of it is idled. I assume that this burden mainly falls on women and children to maintain households afloat.

Edit: I meant for El Salvador. I know about US prison labor and convict leasing

Well the other key to remember is that labour isn't idled; prison labour is very much a thing, and quite productive for the US economy!

They rent out prison labour in a wide array of industries. Yes, literally rent out.
