The facility was designed to hold people the Costa Rican government considers its most dangerous criminals. Its design was donated by El Salvador after Costa Rican officials studied that country’s Terrorism Confinement Center, or CECOT.

The prison forms part of Costa Rica’s broader response to rising organized-crime violence and drug trafficking. The available research extracts do not provide independent information about the facility, so further details about its construction, administration or operating rules cannot be established from the supplied sources.
