It was the middle of the night in El Salvador
and officers, armed with masks and body armor, were asking men they had
arrested to remove their shirts before they brought them to a rundown
police station in the country’s capital city.

police station in the country’s capital city.
The officers were checking for tattoos that would reveal certain gang memberships.
One man among the 169 who were crammed into three cells in the tiny
police station had a tattoo on his forehead. It said, “El Diablo.”
Another had a tattoo that read "Revolucionario" or “Revolutionary” in
Spanish.

In El Salvador, the Murder Capital of the World, Gang Violence Becomes a Way of Life - ABC News
At LFT-Australia we say: "how can you judge if you have not lived the life of these people...? - we did!" Therefore we request the volunteer from LFT all over the world to help us connect through Fair-Trade and Social Justice to find a solution to this problem. This is not a problem only for the government and the police, it's a social problem for us all.
