In El Salvador, Prisons Packed to the Bars

The Izalco prison, like many in El Salvador, is crowded with inmates sprawled over every inch of cell floor. The country’s 19 prisons were built to hold a total of 8,000 prisoners. Today, 24,000 are stuffed into them. In another Salvadoran prison, inmates often must string hammocks from the ceiling or bed down on the floor of a library that is now too full of prisoners to hold any books.
