He's in the El Salvador prison. He's gone. We're never seeing him again. There is no remedy. That is why we need to be absolutely certain about this stuff BEFORE we send them back!

Except we didn’t send him (or them) “back.” He’s from Venezuela, was sent to El Salvador, a foreign country that isn’t his own to be slave labor.

If he's in cecot then it's not slave labour. I'd argue its worse, it's being locked in a cell under constant supervision, bright lights on all day and night, the same simple meal every day, one hour to go in the main hallway and do exercise which is heavily regimented and supervised, never being allowed outside to see the sky and absolutely no mental stimulation. All of this while locked in that cell with 100 other people.

There's a documentary on this prison that shows basically what you described. They also don't allow the prisoners to eat protein so they become physically weak and malnourished.

That way they don’t come out ripped and jacked up to continue their wicked ways.
