The notorious mega-prison which ended years of brutal gang rule in El Salvador and stripped thousands of the most violent criminals of of their rights has been operating for two years this week. CECOT (Centre for the Confinement of Terrorism) is a maximum security jail built a year ago by the Salvadoran government to lock behind bars 'high ranking' members of the country's most violent gangs. Hidden away in the middle of nowhere, the massive prison complex, known as 'the Alcatraz of Central America', looms as the ultimate symbol of El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele's hardline crackdown on crime. Dubbed a 'black hole of human rights' by critics, the controversial facility has drawn widespread condemnation for allegedly ignoring international prisoner rights.Miguel Sarre, a former member of the UN Subcommittee for the Prevention of Torture, slammed the facility as a 'concrete and steel pit.' He also chillingly warned that the prison has effectively become a dumping ground for inmates, with no releases so far-amounting to what he called a 'death penalty in disguise.' Yet in a country plagued by violent gangs like Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and the notorious factions of Barrio 18, Bukele's heavy-handed approach has turned him into a national hero. For many Salvadorans, the high-security prison isn't a disgrace - it's a symbol of safety and hope, driving the president's soaring popularity and political dominance.

Five years on, however, the project appears to have run aground after its millionaire mastermind was ordered to pay almost £750,000 to a British design company following a legal dispute over unpaid invoices. A high court judge said Carl Le Souef, the Australian entrepreneur and co-founder of Somnio, the company behind the scheme, had adopted a 'cagey approach' when cross-examined about where financial responsibility for the scheme lay. Mr Le Souef, who drew inspiration for the concept during a 2007 stay on another exclusive residential ship, MS The World, denied personal responsibility for the financial aspects of the project, including initial sketches produced by Winch Design, a London-based studio that creates bespoke homes, yachts and aircraft. But Lesley Anderson KC, a deputy judge in the chancery division of the high court, said Mr Le Souef, who had been 'presented as being a man of some wealth', bore responsibility for a deal worth £5 million in total, ordering him to pay Winch Design £733,750.
