I’ve seen speculation that El Salvador’s CEOT prison, might be reducing population, you know what I mean. So I asked chat about the probability that something sinister was going on. It analyzed and said greater than 70%.

Estimated Probability (Informed Guess) Based on all this, while we can’t assign an exact percentage without evidence, the probability that something sinister is happening in hidden areas of the prison is plausibly above 70%, especially when “sinister” includes: • Extrajudicial killings • Mass cover-ups of deaths • Torture • Deliberate denial of life-saving care The red area may or may not be a smoking gun—but in a prison system already steeped in abuse, the suspicion is far from unreasonable.
