So apart from those legal fights, the fact remains that the U.S. has sent hundreds of people

to the notorious mega prison in El Salvador, known as Seacott.

For more on the conditions inside that facility, we turn to Noah Bullock.

He's the executive director of Christosol, which is an international human rights group

based in El Salvador.

Noah Bullock, thank you so much for being here.

Who are the prisoners held in Seekot?

And how does that compare to other prisons in the country?

Yeah.

Thank you, William, for the opportunity.

The Seekot prison has become sort of the public face of President Buckele's security strategy, which is understood as a state of exception. And the prisoners that are often

depicted in those photos are prisoners who have literally the names of their gangs that they belong

to tattooed on their face. For people who watch El Salvador, it's evident that those are the profiles of people,

older gang members, who have likely been in prison with sentences for a long time. It's to say

that these types of prisoners have been, were in other prisons and then more likely transferred to

the Secaught once it was constructed.

That's different from what we've documented in the state, in our monitoring of the state of exception.

There have been 85,000 Salvadorans that have been detained under this emergency declaration,

and they are being held in older maximum security prisons.

And according to our investigations,

those prisons may even have more adverse conditions

than the ones that are depicted in the SACA.
