The '''Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility''' ([[Creeperian language|Creeperian]]: Ֆածիլիդադ Ծորրեծծիոնալ Մըխիմա դե Տփխտլա Մարտձնեզ–Պանաճոր / ''Facilidad Correccional Máxima de Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor''),{{efn|{{small|[[Creeperian language|Creeperian]] pronunciation:}} {{font|color=#122080|[fasiliˈðað koreksjoˈnal ˈmaksima ðe ˈtuɣst͡ɬa maɾˈtines ˈpanat͡ʃoɾ]}}}} commonly known as simply '''Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor''' (Տփխտլա Մարտձնեզ–Պանաճոր) or '''TMP''' (ՏՄՊ), is a Creeperian [[List of Creeperian super-maximum security prisons|super-maximum security prison]] located at the base of the extinct [[Tuxtla Martínez volcano]] {{convert|9|mi|km}} southwest of the twin cities of [[Tuxtla Martínez]] and [[Panachor]]. The prison is jointly operated by the [[Bureau of Civilian Defense Management (Creeperopolis)|Bureau of Civilian Defense Management]] (a part of the [[Ministry of Defense (Creeperopolis)|Ministry of Defense]]) and the [[Bureau of Prison Administration (Creeperopolis)|Bureau of Prison Administration]]  (a part of the [[Ministry of Justice (Creeperopolis)|Ministry of Law Enforcement]]).

The Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility was established in 1934, then known as the Imperial Military Internment Camp–Tuxtla Martínez, by the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] and incarcerated both political prisoners and prisoners of war throughout the [[Creeperian Civil War]]. After the end of the civil war, the prison began incarcerating individuals convicted of capital crimes. With the beginning of the [[Mara War]] in 1979, the prison began to intake gang members and paramilitary soldiers. The influx of gang members to the prison partly contributed to the 1988 [[Battle of Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor]] prison riot which killed over 2,000 prisoners and guards. Since 1988, the prison has only accepted super-maximum security prisoners.

According to the prison's administration, the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility has a prisoner population of 53,385 {{As of|2024|January|lc=y}}, despite having a safe operational capacity of 48,000, making it the largest prison in the world by total prisoner capacity. The vast majority of the prison's inmates are gang members, political opponents, and individuals convicted of several capital crimes. All inmates at the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility are serving at least 150 years of imprisonment, at least two life sentences, or have been sentenced to death. According to the Creeperian government, no prisoner has ever successfully escaped from the prison despite numerous escape attempts, but some independent analysts have questioned the government's assertion of no successful escapes. The prison is guarded by 600 members of the [[Creeperian Imperial Guard]] and 2,000 members of the [[Creeperian Imperial Police]], and the prison is directed by Colonel [[Onésimo Ledesma Soriano]].

The Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility has been widely condemned by non-governmental organizations, independent analysts, and international media outlets as a source of rampant [[Human rights in Creeperopolis|human rights abuses]]. The prison has oftentimes been referred to and described as a "concentration camp" by activists and journalists. The Creeperian government has published images and videos of the prison's inmates and living conditions to deter crime by presenting everyday life in the prison, but some independent analysts have claimed that official media published by the Creeperian government do not show the majority of the human rights abuses committed. Alleged leaked prison documents supposedly indicated that abuse, physical and mental torture, human experimentation, unjustified killings, extrajudicial executions, and other human rights abuses, as well as deaths caused by preventable diseases and unsanitary living conditions, are commonplace. The prison is also the subject of several conspiracy theories regarding the whereabouts of missing or deceased individuals.

== Name ==

When the prison first opened in 1934, it was officially known as the Imperial Military Internment Camp–Tuxtla Martínez ([[Creeperian language|Creeperian]]: Campo Imperial դե Internamiento Militar–Տփխտլա Մարտձնեզ / ''Campo Imperial de Internamiento Militar–Tuxtla Martínez'').{{efn|{{small|[[Creeperian language|Creeperian]] pronunciation:}} {{font|color=#122080|[ˈkampo impeɾiˈal ðe inteɾnaˈmjento miliˈtaɾ ˈtuɣst͡ɬa maɾˈtines]}}}} On 29 February 1952, the prison's name was officially changed to the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility (Ֆածիլիդադ Ծորրեծծիոնալ Մըխիմա դե Տփխտլա Մարտձնեզ–Պանաճոր / ''Facilidad Correccional Máxima de Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor''). During the [[Creeperian Civil War]] (1933–1949), the prison was unofficially referred to as the '''Tlilteateskatl Penal Center''' (Centro Penal Tlilteateskatl / ''Centro Penal Tlilteateskatl'',{{efn|{{small|[[Creeperian language|Creeperian]] pronunciation:}} {{font|color=#122080|[ˈsentro peˈnal t͡ɬilte.atesˈkat͡ɬ]}}}} literally meaning "black rock lake"), named after [[Lake Tlilteateskatl]] located just south of the prison. The Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility is commonly referred to by the media and in popular culture as simply Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor (Տփխտլա Մարտձնեզ–Պանաճոր) or TMP (ՏՄՊ).

== History ==

=== Establishment and civil war period ===

When the Creeperian Civil War began in 1933, the right-wing [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] (Imperial Council) purged left-wing politicians and military officers from its controlled territories. These political prisoners were incarcerated at viceroyalty prisons and city jails, however, the government determined that it needed to construct a new prison camp to incarcerate the predicted large influx of political prisoners from the [[National Council for Peace and Order]] (National Council) following the conclusion of the civil war.

In January 1934, the Imperial Army began construction of a prison complex at the base of the [[Tuxtla Martínez volcano]] and next to Lake Tlilteateskatl, located {{convert|9|mi|km}} southwest of the twin cities of [[Tuxtla Martínez]] and [[Panachor]]. The Imperial Council determined that this location was both close enough to [[San Salvador, San Salvador|San Salvador]] (the Imperial Council's capital city) to administer effectively as well as being isolated enough that it would be difficult for prisoners to either be rescued by the National Council or to survive an escape attempt. The Imperial Council determined that the viceroyalty of [[Zapatista]], where the prison is located, would be too difficult for the National Council to capture due to high support for the Imperial Council among the viceroyalty's inhabitants.

The prison camp, officially designated as the Imperial Military Internment Camp–Tuxtla Martínez, opened on 26 November 1934 and the Imperial Council began transferring political prisoners to the prison camp. Beginning in late 1936, the prison began holding National Council prisoners of war as well as political prisoners. Its first director was Brigadier [[Rodolfo Fernández Joss]] and it was garrisoned by the [[37th Infantry Brigade (Creeperopolis)|37th Infantry Brigade]]. Fernández Joss died in 1943 and was succeeded as director by Brigadier [[Arturo Leoz Loris]]. He served as the prison's director until December 1949—a few months after the end of the civil war—when the 37th Infantry Brigade was relocated to [[Guazapa]]. The prison's administration decided to have the [[19th Imperial Guard Regiment (Creeperopolis)|19th Imperial Guard Regiment]] assume the prison's garrison rather than assigning another [[Creeperian Army]] brigade. Colonel [[Ricardo Berrocal Dávalos]] succeeded Leoz Loris as the prison's director and he served until his death in 1972.

The National Council was aware of the Imperial Military Internment Camp–Tuxtla Martínez's existence since before it opened in late 1934 and multiple military operations were planned to attack and capture the prison, freeing all of its prisoners in the process, however, none of the plans were ever seriously considered or had preparations made as they were not considered to be strategically important. In 1944, the [[Creeperian Air Force|National Air Force]] launched a reconnaissance operation to photograph various Imperial Council military installations across the viceroyalty of Zapatista. The Imperial Military Internment Camp–Tuxtla Martínez was among one of the military installations photographed on 12 December 1944. The National Air Force's photographs of the Imperial Military Internment Camp–Tuxtla Martínez remain one of the only publicly accessible aerial images of the prison due to strict Creeperian government censorship regarding such images.

Throughout the Creeperian Civil War, an estimated 100,000 prisoners died at the Imperial Military Internment Camp–Tuxtla Martínez. Most of the prisoners died due to abuse, neglect, starvation, suicide, or extrajudicial executions. The Imperial Council often used the prison as propaganda to coerce National Council soldiers to defect or desert, and conversely, the prison was also used in National Council propaganda to portray the Imperial Council's treatment of prisoners of war in a negative light towards its [[Foreign involvement in the Creeperian Civil War|foreign supporters]]. In late 1949, once the Imperial Council liberated several death camps utilized by the National Council's [[Special Task Squadrons]], the Imperial Council ceased using the Imperial Military Internment Camp–Tuxtla Martínez as propaganda in order to focus on the atrocities committed at the National Council's death camps.

=== Post-civil war period ===

After the end of the Creeperian Civil War in late 1949, none of the prisoners of war and political prisoners incarcerated at the Imperial Military Internment Camp–Tuxtla Martínez were released. Instead, the Creeperian government formally decreed that all of those incarcerated at the prison would be sentenced to life imprisonment on charges of "waging war on God" and "waging war on the Empire". Over the following decade, thousands of prisoners were extrajudicially executed by the prison guards as they had not formally been sentenced to death.

In 1952, the [[Bureau of Prison Administration (Creeperopolis)|Bureau of Prison Administration]] (a division of the [[Ministry of Justice (Creeperopolis)|Ministry of Law Enforcement]]) assumed joint management of the Imperial Military Internment Camp–Tuxtla Martínez along with the [[Bureau of Civilian Defense Management (Creeperopolis)|Bureau of Civilian Defense Management]] (a division of the [[Ministry of Defense (Creeperopolis)|Ministry of Defense]]). The prison's name was also officially changed to the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility to reflect the change in management. That same year, the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility transformed from primarily housing prisoners of war and political prisoners to housing individuals convicted of several capital crimes (referred to as "''regulares''") or those who had been sentenced to death (referred to as "''fins''"). Although these types of prisoners had been accepted in small quantities since 1944, the 1952 change in the prison's intake policy led to ''regulares'' and ''fins'' composing a majority of the prison population by 1960. By 1970, around 80 percent of the prison's population were ''regulares'' and ''fins'', while the remaining 20 percent were political prisoners who continued to be sent to the prison and what remained of the National Council's prisoners of war.

=== Early-Mara War ===

=== Battle of Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor ===

{{main|Battle of Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor}}

=== Current functions ===
<!--By the end of the Creeperian Civil War, around 34,119 people died in the prison camp, far less than the number of people killed in Teguracoa. Around 8,000 of those who died between 1936 and 1949 at Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor were suicides, and another 15,000 were intentionally murdered by prison guards. No one was prosecuted for the human rights abuses and war crimes which were committed at the prison camp during the civil war.

=== Post-civil war period ===

Following the end of the civil war and the massacre of its prisoners, the prison was expanded to its modern-day capacity of 5,110 inmates in 1950. It officially reopened in December 1950 and began to intake more prisoners. By 1952, it had already surpassed its maximum capacity, having a population of around 5,500. Most inmates from 1950 to 1979 were political opponents and captured members of the [[Senvarian Liberation Front]] (SKBF).

=== Early-Mara War ===

In 1979, with the beginning of the [[Mara War]] against the criminal gang [[Mara Salvatrucha]], the Creeperian government designated Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor as the chief prison in incarcerating members of the gang. On 15 December 1979, [[1979 Tuxtla Martínez massacre|all 15,229 prisoners were massacred]] in order to make room for the expected incoming wave of gang members. The total capacity, however, was not expanded.

On 3 May 1988, thousands of prisoners, mostly members of Mara Salvatrucha, initiated a riot and escape attempt. Led by [[Ignacio Morales Morales]], the prisoners attacked and killed many guards and soldiers, and even killed many prisoners, mostly from rival gangs and hated political figures which were imprisoned there. The [[Creeperian Army]] was dispatched and fought against the rioters. In the ensuing [[Battle of Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor|battle]], which lasted until 16 May 1988, 132 soldiers and 421 prisoners were killed, with another 829 soldiers being wounded. No figure of wounded prisoners is known. In the aftermath of the escape attempt and battle, a total of 7,481 prisoners, the total prison population which survived the battle, were [[Capital punishment in Creeperopolis|executed]]. The existence of the battle had been rumored for decades and was only confirmed with the leak of the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Papers in 2012.

=== Current functions ===

The prison resumed accepting prisoners in 1989, but in 2000, the prison stopped accepting new inmates as a part of a government ceasefire with Mara Salvatrucha, however, no inmates were released and human rights abuses continued. With the [[2003 Creeperian coup d'état]], the prison began accepting prisoners again, and during the reign of Emperor [[Alexander II of Creeperopolis|Alexander II]], the prison reached an all-time population high in January 2021 where it reported having a population of 31,104 inmates.-->

== Infrastructure ==

=== Prison facilities ===

The Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility has a total prisoner capacity of 48,000 divided over 24 cell blocks with 20 cells each. Each individual cell officially has the capacity to hold up to 100 prisoners, however, each cell only contains 50 bunks. Regarding each cell only having half of the bunks required to hold 100 prisoners, Ledesma Soriano remarked that "the prisoners can figure out their situation like civilized humans, or they can fight and kill each other over the 50 bunks like the barbarians they are". Each cell also only has one toilet and one sink, and the water which feeds both is controlled by the guards.

=== Capacity and overpopulation ===

At its opening, the Imperial Military Internment Camp–Tuxtla Martínez had a prisoner capacity of 5,000. Capacity was later expanded to 7,500 in 1938, to 10,000 in 1941, and to 12,500 in 1946. Despite these increases in capacity, the prison camp was constantly over capacity. The prison camp first went over its designed capacity in 1936 when its population exceeded 5,000 due to the sudden influx of prisoners of war to the prison camp. When its capacity was expanded to 10,000, its population at the time was around 10,900; the 1941 capacity increase did not adequately address the overpopulation issue. The same occurred in 1946, when the capacity was expanded to 12,500 while the population was around 13,700.

=== Surrounding geography ===

The Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility covers {{convert|100|acre|ha}} of land {{convert|9|mi|km}} southwest of the twin cities of Tuxtla Martínez and Panachor in the viceroyalty of Zapatista. The prison is located at the southern base of the Tuxtla Martínez volcano, an extinct stratovolcano, and on the northern shoreline of Lake Tlilteateskatl, which is sometimes nicknamed "Lake TMP" due to its immediate proximity to the prison.

=== Security and secrecy ===

The Creeperian government maintains a high level of secrecy regarding the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility citing national security concerns and counterintelligence. The Creeperian government has requested global mapping companies to censor the prison on their satellite maps of the world under threat of being blocked in the country, although several mapping companies have published uncensored satellite images of the prison. All aerial photography of the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility is illegal, with persons found guilty of photographing the prison from an aircraft facing up to life imprisonment on charges of espionage. Photography inside the prison is limited only to government approved images; all photographs inside the prison taken without government consent are illegal. Very few photographs or video records of the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility's exterior exist. In 2013, 1 minute and 31 seconds of video footage of the prison's exterior taken by filmmaker [[Edmundo Machado López]] was leaked online, becoming one of the few confirmed video recordings of the prison's exterior to be publicly available.

The Creeperian Imperial Guard patrols and maintains a {{convert|1|mi|km}} perimeter around the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility where unauthorized personnel are not allowed entry. The Creeperian Imperial Guard are authorized to use deadly force against anyone caught inside the perimeter under suspicions of engaging in terrorist activity. Civilian access to the Tuxtla Martínez volcano has been closed since 1972 to prevent individuals from approaching a high vantage point near the prison outside of the {{convert|1|mi|km}} perimeter. Since 1990, at the request of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Law Enforcement, the [[Imperial Aviation Directorate]] has maintained an indefinite temporary flight restriction covering a {{convert|3|nmi|km|adj=mid}} radius around the prison up to {{convert|18000|ft|m}} where civilian aircraft are not permitted entry. The directorate has also established a {{convert|25|sqmi|km2|adj=mid}} restricted area around the prison.

== Human rights abuses ==

=== Mass killings ===

Throughout the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Maximum Correctional Facility's operation, its military garrison has committed several mass killings of its inmates either as a form of collective punishment, to intimidate the prisoner population, or sometimes even as a form of population control to keep the prison from becoming too overpopulated.

=== Imprisonment of foreign nationals ===

=== Prisoner abuse ===

=== Living and working conditions ===
<!--== Controversies ==

Many of the controversies about Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor are known through the leak of the so-called "[[Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Papers]]" in 2012 by an anonymous employee at the prison camp. The leak of the documents, reports, images, and accounts leaked in the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Papers caused much international outcry about the conditions and human rights abuses in the prison.

=== Living and working conditions ===

Accusations and allegations have been made regarding the living conditions of the prison. [[Orlando Hernández Alvarado]] of the digital newspaper ''[[El Faro]]'' asserts that the living conditions in the prison are "not even fit for inanimate objects." Further allegations and accusations claimed that prisoners were crammed into cells to the point that sitting and lying down were near impossible. With the release of several images of overcrowded cells in the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Papers in 2012, many of the allegations and accusations of cramped living conditions were confirmed.

Food is allegedly of an extremely poor quality, providing bare minimum or below bare minimum in calories, vitamins, and proteins. Water is allegedly dirty, and some sources have even claimed that some of the water given to prisoners is directly taken from sewage water. The Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Papers leaked a photo apparently showing some prisoners rounded up on the ground wearing face masks, likely indicating that disease of some sort, likely [[Creeperian Malaria]] or even cholera if dirty water is in fact distributed, is common in the prison.

The Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Papers identified that prisoners live in five prisoner classes:

{| class="wikitable" style="line-height:1.4em; text-align:center"

! Percentage (2012)

|-
| ''Trabajador''
| "Worker"
| A ''Trabajador'' is an individual who has been medically evaluated as being fit for labor. These individuals have the most freedom from their cells, being forced to work manual labor. Manual labor includes producing textiles, license plates, other cheap goods, and some inmates are even used as slave labor and sold to the [[National Mining and Smelting Corporation]] under Army supervision. Sometimes, the medical evaluations are intentionally false and individuals are sent into the ''Trabajador'' class as a form of punishment.

| A ''Dentro'' is an  individual who has been medically evaluated as being unfit for labor. These individuals spend the majority of their day locked up in their cells, only being allowed outside to shower, eat, and spend time in the yard, for a maximum of three hours a day combined. Individuals who fail to eat all three meals in the three hours allotted to them are forced to eat in their cells. Individuals who fail to shower in the three hours allotted to them are not allowed to shower and are forced to remain in their cells. Individuals who fail to spend yard time in the three hours allotted to them are denied yard time for that day and are forced to remain in their cells.

| ''Loco''
| "Insane"
| A ''Loco'' is an individual who has been medically evaluated as being unfit for labor and mentally insane or unstable. These individuals spend their entire day locked up in their cells and are often shackled in their cells, sometimes in intentionally uncomfortable positions which may induce bodily harm. Sometimes, the medical evaluations are intentionally false and individuals are sent into the ''Loco'' class as a form of punishment.

Individuals in the ''Político'' class are often harassed by prison guards because of their status as a political opponent. The guards selected to oversee ''Político'' prisoners are handpicked by the Director and are forbidden from murdering the ''Político'' prisoners, unlike the other four classes, which guards are free to murder whenever they please.

=== Abuse of prisoners by guards ===

Prison guards are often accused of abusing the prisoners, and cases of prisoner abuse by the guards have been confirmed by the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Papers. The papers reported various instances of guards abusing prisoners as a form of punishment, for personal pleasure, and even sometimes for sport. Guards competed with each other to see who could kill as many prisoners as possible in a day, among other forms of "sport," and despite being illegal in Zapatista, several reports of guards [[Gambling in Creeperopolis|gambling]] on said "sport" exist. The papers named a certain guard, named José Enrique Moreno Dávila (1961–2009), as holding the record of having personally killed the most prisoners at 1,220 confirmed kills throughout his twenty-four year-long career at the prison from 1985 to 2009. When he died in 2009, guards killed many prisoners in the prison as a form of "retaliation," despite his death having no relation to his work.

Several allegations and accusations, however, have been made which were not confirmed by the Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Papers. The wildest allegation of abuse is that, every day, a random prisoner is selected to spin a wheel with both good and bad labels, such as "3 days of good food, torture, nothing, firing squad, sunshine, hanging, gets to choose someone else to spin the wheel, whipping, a cell to yourself for 3 days, and no food for 3 days," which is used as a form of psychological torture, and in some cases, even physical torture. Allegations are even made that guards force prisoners to fight to the death and gamble on the outcome of the fight, despite [[Gambling in Creeperopolis|gambling being illegal]] in Zapatista.

=== Abuse of prisoners by prisoners ===

The Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Papers revealed that prisoners are even abused by fellow prisoners, which came as a shock for many who believed that the prisoners would have united against the guards. Members of rival gangs to Mara Salvatrucha are frequently beaten and flogged, and in some cases, murdered, for simple offenses and sometimes even for simply being a rival gang member. Very rarely are the same things done against Mara Salvatrucha, as the smaller gangs fear the wrath of Mara Salvatrucha. The gangs exist in a sort of hierarchy, where Mara Salvatrucha is at the top and, in a sense, "bullies" and "pushes around" the smaller gangs who do not dare challenge Mara Salvatrucha's authority.

A report stated that in March 2006, members of Mara Salvatrucha waterboarded several gang members of [[Los'Muchachos]] after they were accused of slandering a leader of Mara Salvatrucha who was housed at the prison. Another report from June 2008 stated that Mara Salvatrucha killed six members of [[Sureños]] by crushing in their skulls in the yard by slamming them on tables and crushing them under their feet for simply giving a member of Mara Salvatrucha the middle finger.-->
