Description
Centro Penal de Apanteos, Santa Ana, El Salvador. A very dark photograph inside the actual cells that the men are kept in, as opposed to the general cell block. There are three men visible, the two to the right & left are barely recognizable. The one in the center has a shaved head, a mustache, and is staring straight into the camera. The cell bars are visible. The man in the center is bare chested, and an indecipherable tattoo is on his chest. All the men are of Hispanic origin.
