Edit: Added source link I should've included in the first place, thanks everyone. Also swapped the image (wrong gulag).

Can we have any source for this?

If it helps, the description of the photo is explicitly misinformation. The photo is from a 2020 (businessinsider.com) lockdown (reuters.com) in the Izalco maximum security prison, halfway across the country from CECOT. The images depict Izalco inmates being stripped and searched for contraband in the yard, it is not a group cell. I do not know the toilet/shower/etc. situation of these men.

I'm not OK with the events the photo depicts either, but regardless it's not what is described in the ... meme, are we calling this a meme?

This is why I've begun to sworn off learning anything about current events on social media. Everyone's posting propaganda, misleading pictures etc. If I want the news, I check news sites, not social media.

Being a moderator doesn't take any particular talent, training, or intelligence. Any ass can do it — and here I am.
