What do you see in this satellite photo of CECOT?

I don't think it's a killing place. A place like CECOT which is purpose built, if they needed a secret killing place that was overflowing with that much blood, then they would need a way to dispose of the bodies on an industrial scale. The most likely method would be a crematorium disguised as a trash incinerator. It would have to be close to the killing place because moving bodies is risky and labor intensive. A crematorium or incinerator would have a very obvious smoke stack and would have some gas infrastructure nearby, like a gas line with bleed vents, a tanker-sized LNG tank, and/or above ground valve control areas.look for something like that nearby.

It's possible that the bodies could be getting chemically dissolved or fed into a grinder and destined for the wastewater treatment plant which is southwest of the prison alongside the access road.

But those are expensive and labor-intensive, respectively.

If you think you see an industrial amount of blood, you gotta think about what the rest of the logistics chain looks like too.

That is well thought out. Thanks.

Chemical dissolution isn't that intensive. The cartel famously had a guy who just him and his assistant were able to dissolve hundreds of bodies over years in a small hideout in a construction site.

As of last year, rights groups report at least 261 people had died at the facility: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/el-salvadors-prisons-deaths-anti-gang-crackdown-rcna161327

People die there from violence, lack of medical care, and torture. We know hundreds of people are dying there. They have to be doing something with the bodies.

Not sure... Care to elaborate?

EDIT: I'm looking at someone who did a deep dive on this. I don't know what to say, I hope it's not that, but it could be...

We already know that hundreds of people have died at that and other facilities like it:

And those are just the ones rights groups know about.

Just think about it. You throw people in there in horrendously overcrowded conditions and explicitly tell them that they will never be released. Have you seen the photos? Dozens of people in big open cages, very few guards to keep an eye on them. The prisoners in there have nothing to lose. What exactly is the punishment if one prisoner kills another? Do you think a guard is going to be able to intervene in time if one inmate decides to strangle another? Do you think the guards that work at a place that imprison people for life without trial even give a damn?

Just use some common sense. How could such a facility end up anything but a blood bath? That is the entire point of a concentration camp like this. It's a way for the state to mass execute people with plausible deniability. You deliberately create the conditions where mass death is inevitable and then blame the prisoners when the inevitable happens.
