Human Rights Violations In El Salvador

Inmates are forced to sleep in cramped conditions, each assigned to a bed that is nothing more than a metal sheet on a four-tier bunk. They are fed rice, bran, boiled eggs, or pasta, which they must eat with their hands as even plastic or wooden utensils cannot be trusted. In each 100-square-meter cell, dangerous prisoners are required to share only two toilets and two sinks. They must eat with their hands because knives and forks can be deadly weapons, and they are only allowed out of their cells for 30 minutes a day.

THE WORLD reports that when the Human Rights Commissioner of El Salvador, Colombian Andrés Guzmán, visited the notorious prison, he insisted that the inmates are “in good condition and their human rights are being respected.”
