Neri Alvarado was sent to prison because of an autism awareness tattoo. This is his story.

The Trump administration sent 238 men to a torture prison claiming they were fang members based on “gang tattoos.’ Neri Alvarado has an autism awareness tattoo.

“They’re going to kill me here,” Neri Alvarado thought.

Alvarado was allegedly targeted by the Trump administration because of his tattoo of an autism awareness ribbon with his brother’s name on it. Now, free from El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison, Alvarado wants the world to know what they lived through.
