520 _a"Antonio Garcia knows the San Salvador detention center well. As a member of the gang Mara Salvatrucha, or MS13, the 28-year-old has been in and out five times in the past two years [2003-2004], adding new graffiti to the walls each visit. 'I always go back to my homeboys at the end,' says Mr. Garcia, hitching up his baggy white pants and shrugging. He is here, this time, charged with aggravated assault. Other times it has been robbery; once, it was murder. But by the end of last week [Feb. 2005], Garcia was already back on the street....He hopes to travel soon to Virginia or Miami, he muses, to spend time with fellow gang members." (CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR) This article provides an overview of "El Salvador's energetic but so-far ineffectual system of cracking down on gangs," noting that the country continuously arrests and releases MS13 gang members between their travels to the United States.
