Welcomes it's first 2,000 prisoners.. and the governor is standing for no nonsense..
A mega-prison in El Salvador has opened its doors to its first 2,000 inmates of suspected gang members - who upon their arrival found out there are not enough beds for everyone and there are no mattresses.
The facility is designed to house 40,000 suspected gangsters and the security minister for the Central American country warned inmates they 'will never walk out of here'.
The move to the high-tech prison follows President Nayib Bukele's 'war' on crime.
Bukele tweeted that 'at dawn, in a single operation, we transferred the first 2,000 members to the Center for the Confinement of Terrorism (CECOT)' - which he claims is the largest mega-prison in the Americas.
Bukele added: 'This will be their new house, where they will live for decades, all mixed, unable to do any further harm to the population.'
There are only 80 metal bunks for every 100 prisoners, and rights groups and observers have criticised the construction as a violation of incarceration standards.
'There will be no mattresses in the cells,' the prison warden - who wore a ski mask to protect his identity - told journalists when the project was unveiled.
While the prison is equipped with dining halls, exercise rooms and table tennis tables, they are exclusively for guards' use.
Prisoners will leave the cell only for legal hearings by video conference, or to be punished in a windowless and unlit isolation cell.

..Isn't it a terrifying thought that all these people could be out among us at any one time.. ?... We need every country in the world to adopt this type of Prison system..

People get too comfortable in prison and see it as a second home. They should be made to NOT want to go back.
