Story summary

Keiko Fujimori, the president of Peru, visited CECOT, a maximum-security prison in El Salvador, on Thursday. CECOT, known as the Terrorism Confinement Center, was built by Nayib Bukele, El Salvador's president, and is designed to house dangerous gang members. Fujimori toured the facility as part of her consideration for building a similar prison in Peru to combat rising homicide and extortion rates. She is the latest Latin American leader to visit CECOT since its construction, following other regional leaders who have shown interest in Bukele's approach to criminal justice reform.
