Salvadorean President Nayib Bukele said late Monday that his government has offered its U.S. counterpart to "outsource part of its prison system," sending convicted criminals to its so-called "mega-prison," which can hold tens of thousands of people.
Bukele said in a post on X that his government would do so in exchange for a fee, which would be "relatively low for the U.S. but significant for us, making our entire prison system sustainable."
