Bukele Blueprint: How to Dramatically Reduce Your Nations Murder Rate With This One Simple Trick [Revolver News Feature]
Two thousand suspected gang members have been moved to a new mega-prison in El Salvador, built as part of President Nayib Bukele’s self-proclaimed “war on crime.” …
The mega-prison, officially called the Center for the Confinement of Terrorism (CECOT), was built to hold 40,000 prisoners. Bukele unveiled the center in January, saying it is “a fundamental piece to completely win the war against gangs.”
…The new ultra-prison is the climax of perhaps the most dramatic campaign against crime in modern world history. In the span of little more than a year, one in every fifty Salvadorans has been arrested by the police or the military.
…The best thing about it? It’s working. From 2019 to the present, America’s murder rate has surged by more than 35%, costing thousands of innocent lives. Meanwhile, in El Salvador during the same span, the murder rate has fallen by eighty percent. Just from 2021 to 2022, the rate halved, and 2023 is poised to carry rates even lower.
And oh man, is the left ever mad about it.
