Costa Rica’s top law enforcement official toured El Salvador’s notorious “mega prison” in a desperate search for answers to the bloody migrant gang war that has seen murder rates spike in his country.
Justice Minister Gerald Campos visited the controversial CECOT max lockup on Friday looking for ways to fight back as the Costa Rican homicide rate reaches unprecedented levels, The Tico Times reported.
“We are going to take all the good practices and see how we can bring them to a good conclusion in our legal system,” Campos told the outlet during the tour. “We need to build new prisons in line with the level of crime our countries are experiencing today.”
