You are running from the assumption that anyone who is locked up in these prisons is also actually guilty of having been involved in gang violence. However there is a lot of indication that a significant portion of innocent people have been swept up in the prisons as well, without access to a proper legal defence.

And, in my opinion, the Salvadorian prison system is so horrifically barbaric that accidentally innocently locking people up is akin to violating their basic human rights.

Annoyingly it also turned the word “lobby” into a contaminated dirty word, even though lobbying is a healthy and important part of a functional democracy.

Any group collectively arguing in favour of their interest to the government is a lobby. That group can be anything from employers, to unions, to civil rights advocates.

The problematic part is the bribery, not the fact that there is interest groups lobbying the government.
