I do not agree with sending citizens of the USA. Would imagine the courts would not either.

El Salvador to sell their jail space

One bed can sleep 3. They rotate 8 hours for sleep, 8 hours for public service (trash pickup cleaning ditches, cutting grass etc., and 8 hours in a work program which they get paid for by an employer who wants cheap labor. (No violent criminals)A little competition for the illegals.
Each then must pay for their bed for 8 hours, meals, health insurance, and if they want an hour or two at the gym, they can pay for that too. They get 2 days off/ week. They can pay for the TV and recreational equipment too for their days off! They can also supplement violent offender’s costs too through a tax on their pay. None of this is voluntary. Dang almost like real life.
I know some judge like William Wayne Justice will find this cruel and unusual punishment. Judges like that can be sent to prison in El Salvador.

Honest, hardworking, contributing members of society type citizens don't have to worry.
I say send the ones that repeatedly break our laws and cant get right after multiple attempts at rehabilitation, no matter where they are from.

Listening to WBAP, Shane Bartholomy (sp?) and this was his subject. While saying he loves the idea there is no way it will ever happen, just as you said courts won't allow that.....

I can actually see a scenario where it could work. US would have to rent a wing of the prison and designate it us soil, similar to an embassy. And either us citizens are transferred to serve as prison guards and or to train el Salvadoran guards .

Originally posted by Pedernal View PostLike everything else in the world, this could have positive as well as negative results. Currently in the US detention space costs are approximately $120 per night ( at least that’s the number I recently heard). In order for ICE to have guaranteed space they have to purchase bed space and pay regardless of if someone is housed in the facility or not. Do the numbers on 1000 beds over a year. Cost is astronomical.
Have you checked the federal budget lately? 😎
That’s about 1/10,000th of 1% of our current budget.

I have worked in private prisons that housed federal inmates, both BOP and federal Marshals. There are very strict guidelines to go by and they send a group of inspectors around on a regular basis along with one person assigned there as an inspector to monitor the daily activities. I don't think the ES government would want to bring their prison up to US standards.

I am sure most will agree we are sick of paying taxes. Any savings in detention space could go to any number of better cause to benefit US Citizen tax payers.
