In a class that covered murican history 1850-present, we were told by the teacher that the Japanese-muricans living in murica that were interned in murica during WW2 were put in re-concentration camps. They were not put in concentration camps. The teacher said if you wrote concentration camp on the test, you would be marked wrong.
Much later, I met a person that had a family member in one of those concentration camps. That family member got a nickname because they were good at running out of the camp, stealing food, and coming back to feed their fellow concentration campers.
So yes, according to that teacher and if I had to guess their opinion, El Salvador’s prison is likely the first concentration camp in murican history.
I’d guess your teacher may he rot in hell would have taken the conservative position that it’s not a concentration camp but a legit prison for actual vIoLeNt CrImInAlS

The teacher’s dead now. Fuck him.
