i hear that the country ~was~ in violent chaos because of gangs ruling over the country instead of civil law & order…and that el salvador is taking steps to grow & develop after recent civil war & violence.

the united states has one of the highest incarceration rates for a first world nation at about 0.7%

the US has an actual problem with incarceration/brutality/injustice, comparing it with the more civilized first-world nations.
