Inside the prison of the living dead:

DAVID JONES goes deep into El Salvador's godforsaken 40,000 capacity mega prison... and his account will shake you to the core.​

Sunk deep into shaven and elaborately tattooed skulls, a hundred pairs of eyes – hollow and dark – are boring directly into mine. The men they belong to have committed crimes evil almost beyond comprehension.

Members of two of the most savage rival gangs the world has seen, El Salvador’s Ms-13 and Barrio 18, they raped and tortured, murdered and mutilated, cut bodies to pieces and strewed them around the streets to strike terror in the neighbourhoods they controlled.

On my journey to the world-renowned prison that holds them, the Latin American country’s new Terrorism Confinement Centre (CECOT), my government escorts had shown me photographic evidence of their grisly handiwork.

Standing a few feet away from the cage holding 100 perpetrators of savagery - one of 32 mass cells that line Module 8 in the Terrorism Confinement Centre - is a deeply unnerving experience.
