Inside El Salvador's Hellhole Prison as Trump flirts with idea of sending America's most violent inmates there
A prison complex in El Salvador housing some of the country's most notorious gang members could end up 
taking in deportees from the United States as well as violent criminals currently imprisoned in the U.S.
The offer was made by El Salvador President Nayib Bukele during a meeting with Secretary of State 
Marco Rubio on Monday, according to State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce.
Bukele agreed to accept Salvadoran MS-13 gang members who unlawfully entered the US as part of President 
Donald Trump's mass deportation plan.
He also guaranteed Rubio that El Salvador would receive and jail violent undocumented immigrants from any country, including members of the feared Venezuelan Tren de Aragua street gang.
The future inmates, including U.S. citizens and permanent residents, would be incarcerated at the 
Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (Terrorism Confinement Center), located in a remote area about 44 miles southeast of the country's capital, San Salvador.

The $100 million penitentiary, the largest in Latin America, was constructed over a span of seven months in 2022 as part of Bukele's plan to reign in street gangs after more than 60 people were murdered on March 26, 2022.
The following day, Bukele declared a State of Exception, which granted powers to the police and military as alleged gang members, including those belonging to the MS-13 and Barrio 18, were rounded up in raids without court orders and stripped away rights such as freedom of assembly and communication privacy.
It houses at least 13,000 inmates, with a capacity for 40,000, eclipsing the Marmara Penitentiaries Campus in Istanbul, Turkey.
