'Worst of the worst': Go inside El Salvador’s fortress prison for gang members

Video Description

We get rare, exclusive access inside El Salvador’s Cecot prison, where some of the country’s most notorious gang members are held, isolated from the rest of society. Join us as David Culver tours the controversial high-security facility with El Salvador’s prison officials, capturing the tight security, packed cells, and firsthand accounts from inmates. With Cecot likely to receive more criminal migrants from the U.S. under President-elect Trump’s immigration plan, the prison has become a focal point in El Salvador’s crackdown on gangs. While critics say the prison’s strict control and isolation of inmates is a violation of human rights, many locals see it as essential in keeping brutal violence from seeping back into society. #CNN #News
