An American reporter from CNN was shocked to see the world’s toughest and most dangerous prison in El Salvador.
David Culver gave a stunning visit to the country’s top prison known as the CECOT, Terrorism Confinement Centre, which can hold up to 40,000 inmates.
What Culver explained will shock the readers as he enters one of the world’s most dangerous and terrible places.

Located in an isolated mountainous area, the place is a testament to President Nayib Bukele’s brutal crackdown on gang violence.
Inside, conditions are stark—no mattresses, communal bathing, and lights that never turn off.
“Comfort isn’t part of the plan,” noted reporter David Culver, who described the atmosphere as “tense and uncomfortable.”
Most shocking? Solitary confinement cells, pitch black with just a pinhole of light. Inmates may endure these for up to 15 days.
CNN’s 9-minute short video tour of the prison shows everything, from low-level gang soldiers to high-profile gang leaders imprisoned for years.
