El Salvador's prison system may be the world's smartest design

I know by now we all heard how El Salvador got a new president that some call far right and extreme, but facts are he has taken the most crime ridden nation in the Americas and turned it around. Mainly by putting ALL the gang members in CECOT a new supermax prison where they are never allowed to see daylight and are kept in clean but rough conditions.
It's not what they are doing to the worst that is so great. It's what they are doing for all the other prisoners. Prisons are education camps with "zero leisure". You sleep, eat and go to school or work and that's it. For every day you work you get two days taken off your sentence. What they are learning is almost every trade, CPR and medical skills and they even have culinary schools and a full university. The prisoners are well behaved and seem positive, because the alternative is being sent to a place worse than hell. But they have no drug issues, very little inamate on inmate crime and they credit it all to segregating gangsters and rehabilitating everyone else.
With the work force they have now they have been able to greatly contribute the the economy and build a skilled workforce of thousands quickly.
They have a textile factory that has 3 shifts of 2800 workers putting out constant stuff.
We could easily follow suit in my opinion.
Here is a well done Youtube video that interviews guards, prisoners and inmates. It looks more like a factory and a university than a prison.

more information on CECOT their Supermax prison.
El Salvador also does not allow cell phones to work within 2km of their prisons.

Depending on who Trump picks to lead the prison system, we may make some progress to that. Just today the BOP officially did away with all Tranny inmate privileges they were getting like pat search exemptions and 'female' things off commissary.

This is the way. A lot of people in jail for minor offenses get corrupted by the gangsters because they’re forced to pick a side for protection. If you refuse you get beaten up or worse. To get that protection you have to do things for them that lead to more trouble.
It’s smart to separate gang affiliates from regular people

Search youtube for the Pierce Morgan/ Steve Bannon interview.
Bannon gives some incite with his experience in prison. Bannon says prison reform is coming.

Craz that the inmates are only fed rice, corn and tortillas and a sugar protein drink. That diet alone would make mne want to die.
But thats only for murderers.

American citizens are never going to be sent to El Salvador to serve a prison sentence.

That's because of the capitalistic nature of prisons in the United States. They want to keep prisons full, it's good for business. Giving vocational skills helps them break the cycle.

Then why did our Secretary of State negotiate a deal to do just that? I’m sure we have some in Gitmo already.
England used to send theirs to Australia to let them starve.
Trump is hard on crime, he keeps talking about the death penalty for drug dealers.

The videos of them running in shackles always looks staged to me.
If not, I wonder what they did to get to comply like that

We aren’t England and it’s not the 1800’s. Do you really think American criminals will be shipped off to El Salvador? Being tough on crime is one thing, sending American citizens who are criminals to other countries to serve out a sentence is something completely different. It’s not happening.
