Bukele signals possible early release of half of imprisoned gang members

El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele announced he is open to the conditional early release of half of the imprisoned gang members, who have been declared guilty, under surveillance. This marks a notable shift from his administration's hardline mass-incarceration policy, though details on criteria and timing remain unclear. The move could signal a policy recalibration amid domestic and international scrutiny of the country's prison system.
