Crime Life in El Salvador
Mara Salvatrucha (MS) gang members show off their weapons in the Las Victorias district of San Salvador.

It is unclear whether the decision was the idea of the gangs themselves or whether they were encouraged by the government. (Photo by Adam Hinton)...

Pictured here are three cubes differentiated with subtitles indicating the exact quantity used....
