I'm not saying locking criminals up is bad, it's actually the right thing to do. But, putting them in a situation where they way outnumber their guards or where an outside force could come in and litteraly have their own little army just waiting to be freed (that will hate everyone). Yeah, can't see that not coming to bite them. Better to spread them out over multiple well staffed facilities and show just a bit of humanity. Or, just be honest and do the death penalty for those deserving.
Mark my words, that's going to end badly.
It looks like a cage for cannibalism. I'm not convinced this is the right answer to the violent gang problem - but I also don't have any better ideas.
El Salvador has been a murderous shithole all my life. I don't know how you fix it but surely there must be less depraved alternatives to this.

Prisoners always outnumber the guards. The guards have guns and there are supposed to be failsafes that prevent escapes.
Dunno how well this place is constructed.
This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Just kill them all and move on if you're going to these levels.
