This is amazing: El Salvador offers to take American prisoners off our hands for a fee

We have offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system.
We are willing to take in only convicted criminals (including convicted U.S. citizens) into our mega-prison (CECOT) in exchange for a fee.
The fee would be relatively low for the U.S. but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable.

Art of the deal.

Expedite this. Lol

Still not tired of winning.

Hell yeah. Imagine the cost savings. Not to mention maybe a crime deterrent

USD or BTC ? (hehe)

I’d rather be executed than sent to a Salvadoran prison.

This is the way.
Should rent an entire Cell block just for the FBI and CIA agents who have been engaged in illegal election interference and corruption.

It’s fun to think about but I can’t see it happening. The legal cans of worms this would open up would be unending.

I'm no constitutional expert but there's got to be something in there about shipping criminals to foreign countries. Great idea for violent criminals and sex criminals but I can't see how it's legal. Maybe some of our OT lawyers can chime in

Probably would get shot down in court for US citizens. But still yuge even if we can only ship them the criminals who were in the US illegally.

Technically nothing that I am specifically aware of off the top of my head beyond “cruel and unusual punishment” which the argument could be made for.
We do allow US citizens to serve sentences in other countries but I think they have to have dual citizenship with that country and consent to it. Something like that.
But beyond that… you’re sending a US citizen to a foreign prison without any oversight from their state or federal government.
They would be extrajudicial. They would have no or limited access to the US judicial system of which they are afforded that right. No physical access to their lawyer.
Beyond that what if something happens to them. Say they are accused of a crime while in prison. Are they now subject to the El Salvadoran judicial system for that alleged crime? They didn’t choose to be in El Salvador so they shouldn’t be.
And on and on.

Looks less appealing than a firing squad

You break the law, your arse goes to a 3rd world Central American prison. I don’t think 3 hots and a cot means the same thing down there.

Please tell me this is happening

"I believe that the federal government has a history of effectively holding hundreds of people as 'hostages' by imprisoning them on politically motivated charges related to what was actually an innocent expression of their First Amendment right to protest abuses of power.
On an unrelated note, I'm also a big supporter of allowing the federal government to send its inmates to foreign prisons in Central America, where it will be unclear what their legal rights are and harder to hold anyone accountable if they are attacked or killed.
I just like to think of myself as a patriotic defender of liberty who's always on the lookout for possible abuses of power."

This would be great and the only way it would work. I don't see sending citizens out of the country passing the courts

what if it isn’t American citizens we’re sending, but undocumented illegal immigrants with as much as a moving violation?
