Luis, a baker, was arrested while trying to get a document attesting to his clean criminal history at a government office. He was accused of being associated with gang members and was taken to El Salvador's largest prison. During his time in prison, he experienced severe abuse and feared for his life. Human rights organisations have documented multiple deaths and cases of violence in the prison. He was eventually released, but his prospects have been limited.
