Under the administration of President Nayib Bukele, the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT) was officially opened in 2023 as part of a strategy to address gang violence.
This facility in Tecoluca houses the most dangerous criminals in the country and is considered one of the safest prisons globally, with a capacity for 40,000 inmates.
The compound is heavily secured with 19 watchtowers, and detainees are under constant surveillance by a security team.
