Learning about that El Salvador jail USA is sending people to and confused - is it viewed as too merciful just to kill these people? Not to mention executions would be the cost effective choice Imagine having to eat rice and beans with your hands for decades. At that point just put me down like a dog https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_Confinement_Center

My bet is the US pivots more toward prison labour to onshore manufacturing. Maybe that's the threat: Make shoes and shirts for pennies or go to El Salvador.

They’re not technically guilty of crimes. This is the extrajudicial equivalent of sweeping them under the rug. People ask fewer questions. I keep trying to remind people of this but the US has been doing almost exactly this for 23 years at Guantanamo. While the speed and scope of the people being sent has increased, the actually tally has not been exceeded. Best count I’ve seen so far: 238 sent to El Salvador 780 sent to Guantanamo There are also tricks used to hold those not found guilty in US private prisons for indefinite periods of time. So the answer is yes it would be cheaper but it would be both unconstitutional in a clear and legally threatening sense, and would like foment revolution in a way that the out of sight out of mind approach doesn’t seem to.

Read through and I think the goal isn’t mercy or even efficiency, but control. Keeping them alive in extreme confinement sends a lasting message and avoids the international backlash that mass executions would trigger.

Type this location into google maps. Looks like a pile of bodies in CECOT 13.534547, -88.805507 😬

This is an extraordinarily dark line of reasoning, but as a humane alternative to facing a lifetime of detention without the possibility of parole (i.e., where natural or violent death is the only possible outcome anyway), I’d support offering the option of a dignified, assisted suicide to all life prisoners anywhere. Even in prisons where the conditions are not as inhumane as this

It’s modern day concentration camps for “immigrants.” Killing them immediately would be equivalent as sending them to the gas chambers.

I believe their reasoning is they didn't care about the liberty and freedoms etc of those they killed etc. so they don't care about theirs (in a nutshell)

Yeah, but the cost of prison life and ongoing welfare for inmates does raise serious questions about the system… Still, I wouldn’t wish that kind of life on anyone
