    That’s another possibility, and also possibly why they’re trying to say that trips to that prison are always life sentences. That’s the only way not having tracking makes any kind of sense at all. But realistically, every prison, even a Salvadorian super jail, is going to have some kind of tracking, or they’d never know if they lost a prisoner.
