True. It is very messed up. It's one of those situations where there is a positive outcome that will look good for awhile, but it will probably not remain good forever, if they continue to arrest people. At some point it will go from violent criminals to whatever excuse they can make to imprison people. And woop, here we are today. It is happening.
I understand why the prison happened and I understand why the population of El Salvador was happy about their president's decision to crack down hard on crime, but when does it stop? When have they caught enough people? Because they say they won't stop until every single criminal has been taken off the street and be me that sounds like they will start seeing ghosts everywhere.
And that is still not even touching on the living conditions of the inmates.
Teenagers are also tried as adults, by the way.
