Nouă închisoare în Costa Rica, inspirată de mega-penitenciarul din El Salvador. Fernandez: Dragă președinte Bukele, îți trimit o îmbrățișare uriașă și din suflet

Costa Rica has opened a high-security prison inspired by El Salvador's mega-prison, aiming to combat rising crime rates. President Laura Fernandez, who took office in May, has pledged a tough stance against crime, housing 5,100 inmates in the new facility. The prison's design and policies have drawn criticism from human rights organizations, echoing concerns over El Salvador's controversial measures against gang members. Fernandez has expressed gratitude to Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele for his influence on her crime reduction strategy, while critics warn that Costa Rica risks losing its reputation for democracy and human rights.
