About
More Photos

The Terrorism Confinement Center (Spanish: Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo, abbreviated as CECOT) is a maximum security prison in Tecoluca, El Salvador. The prison was built in late 2022 amid a large-scale gang crackdown in the country. CECOT had a population of 14,532 inmates. With a capacity for 40,000 inmates, CECOT is the largest prison in Latin America and one of the largest in the world by prisoner capacity. In 2025, the Salvadoran government incarcerated over 200 deportees that the second Donald Trump administration alleged were Venezuelan and Haitian gang members. The Salvadoran government has allowed selected news outlets access to tour the prison and it has been featured in several videos published on social media by president Nayib Bukele. CECOT is controversial, receiving praise for its detention of alleged gang members and criticism for alleged human rights abuses, including overcrowding, lack of due process, and inhumane conditions.
