Are you OK with this?

Edit: Added source link I should've included in the first place, thanks everyone. Also swapped the image (wrong gulag).

It’s not a war crime, there’s no war. It’s a crime against humanity. Let’s please use the language correctly.
- Straight from the image: "This is a war crime, without a war."
- That's exactly what the picture says. Why are you complaining?
  
  Uhm no? It says war (crime) twice.
- Misinformation.

Can we have any source for this?
- If it helps, the description of the photo is explicitly misinformation. The photo is from a 2020 (businessinsider.com) lockdown (reuters.com) in the Izalco maximum security prison, halfway across the country from CECOT. The images depict Izalco inmates being stripped and searched for contraband in the yard, it is not a group cell. I do not know the toilet/shower/etc. situation of these men.
  I'm not OK with the events the photo depicts either, but regardless it's not what is described in the ... meme, are we calling this a meme?
  
  Perhaps we should just call it misinformation. Thanks a lot for the context.
  So 51 people upvoted this without any reflection. We need to get better than this.
  
  Fucking lies everywhere. God, I love the internet. Thanks for checking.
  
  Wow, even knowing El Salvador had the one horrid hellhole, I wouldn't have thought they'd need more than one. Swapped the image, thanks...
  
  This is why I've begun to sworn off learning anything about current events on social media. Everyone's posting propaganda, misleading pictures etc. If I want the news, I check news sites, not social media.
  Op is a mod...
- Source added, thanks. Also switched the incorrect image.

Source: CNN
- But yeah, looks like the photo is from some other hellhole. Will fix.
  
  By now most of the comments pertain to the original pic you posted. I would recommend to remove the post and make a new one to avoid additional confusion.

There are enough atrocities going on in this world without you posting misinformation to further a agenda you fucking twerp
- Gangs: extort, dismember, kill, rape for 20 years.
  High sec. prison: exists for 2 years.
  Woke asses: pikachu
  
  I don’t know if you were trying to make a joke, but misinformation is killing society, whether it’s four or against whatever agenda you have,do better, be better, consume better information

No, I'm not. Not by a long shot.
But what can we do, when POTUS is now a King, by SCOTUS?
- You got to go out and protest is there a risk you might end up in one of these places yes. But the risk of not protesting right now are far greater.

You want to know what I am OK with? Armed resistance. Enough passive peaceful protest BS that never changes anything. It is time for rioting and violence.
- Americans are genuinely way too pathetic for a modern armed resistance. The only ones who have a chance are now in power.
  
  It's only a matter of time. We're already seeing acts of resistance, and as the government cracks down on it, they only make it worse. Treat people like terrorists and they'll become terrorists.
