C) it costs them basically nothing
D) I think Bukele is amused by the whole situation


Without a doubt A and B. El Salvador doesn't want the smoke. Even if this gets rejected Trump will have it in the back of his head that El Salvador tried to help. Would probably help out with trade.

I would like to know what it cost to house illegal immigrants in the states compared to El Salvador. From what I have seen of that El Salvador prison it can't be that expensive.

Sounds good! Bet the American prisoners are not gonna like being in a non-US prison. LOL

Be real funny if you get sent there when team AOC takes over in 2029.

The vast majority of violent crime in the US are committed by voters of team blue. Watch their elected representatives fight this to no end, while their media and their ignorant voters cry some "ism". They need to keep their foot soldiers on our soil to terrorize the populace. They won't like this at all.

I don't think you must have dual citizenship or consent to it. I met a guy in Thailand who overstayed his tourist visa and was put in jail until he was able to get family to send money to pay the - hefty - fine. He was from England, but I'm pretty sure it applies to Americans as well. From what he said, you do not want to be put in jail in Thailand.


What does this have to do with what we are talking about?

Yes, if you break the law in a foreign country you can be sent to their prison. That’s not what we are talking about

I just watched the CECOT documentary recently. I loved the interview, they had one inmate speak to the tv crews. He said cells are not overcrowded, they're treated very well, and the staff is very kind.

Move forward with this!
Also, bring back banishment.

Say they are accused of a crime while in prison.


They're more likely to just get shanked and bleed out in a Salvadoran prison.

I would think a prison in El Salvador would make Angola look like a Holiday Inn.

Prison is big business and all of these companies that own private prisons will lobby the shite out of making sure this doesn't happen.


A. US citizens will absolutely never be sent abroad to foreign prisons outside of a treason situation and a black site or GITMO.

B. Lobbies have lost their teeth with Trump and Musk. Sending foreign, non-citizen prisoners abroad for a fee that is cheaper than keeping them in our prisons seems like a perfect fit with this administrations cost cutting profile.

The vast majority of violent crimes in the US are actually committed by people who don't vote at all.

Not really.

They have zero privacy, zero personal belongings, zero connection to the outside world, etc. It's a complete lockdown. They are treated worse than cattle. No bedding on steel beds. They have clothes that have such weak fabric you can't even make ropes out of it (think almost like a paper towel). They aren't even allowed to grow their hair. The guards also stare at them constantly and the punishment for violence or acting out is not good.

GEO Group stock down 5% this morning. Even if this has a .5% chance, someone on Wall Street got spooked.

Bukele is doing his best to become friends with Trump the way Milei has. Those two countries leading a change in Central and South America is a benefit for everyone in the Americas.

consequences for actions, amazing concept, I was in Belize a few years ao and we were doing a day tour in the rain forest and we passed by the prison there, iirc, one of the guides told me that if you are arrested and charged with a crime there is no bail, you await trial in the prison, with no windows, air-conditioning, or mosquito repellent, he said it was a pretty uncomfortable place

Let’s just say there is not a scenario where I end up in an Iranian prison.

If you've never seen a documentary on the CECOT prison I highly suggest you do. Place is like ADX Florence on steroids.

They get three meals, dinner being a reheat of breakfast. No meat ever.

80 people in 40 man cells, mixed gangs, predominantly MS13 and Barrio 18s. Locked up 23.5 hours per day. One head, one sink, and one bucket for cleaning up.

Forty bunks but eighty men. The bunks are metal, with no mattress, pillow or sheets.

Judging by their hustle when told to do something, I gather the guards kick the shite out of them if they get out of line.

They even eat in their cells. The guards stack food on the floor and someone is responsible for reeling it in for distribution. Touch it too early, touch the guard or talk shite or God forbid spit or something like that, they take it up and all 80 go hungry.

Just knowing I could wind up there would cause me to self-deport.

This sounds like a winning situation right here. Load up the c130's with all the convicted murders and rapist. It will never happen but looking at the photos in this thread crime would go way down if this did happen.
