Richard Madeley visits the notorious Cecot prison in El Salvador for a Channel 5 documentary airing at 9pm tonight. The presenter describes the facility as a 'genuinely chilling experience', finding thousands of men silently sitting on stacked beds in cells lit 24 hours a day. When he asks about conditions, he is told to leave.
The programme explores the nation's gang history and how former US President Donald Trump has made use of the prison. Madeley returns after learning more about these aspects. Cecot is one of El Salvador's most controversial prisons, part of the country's crackdown on gang violence.
Other highlights tonight include the BBC One sitcom 'Amandaland' at 9pm, where Anne grapples with rising babysitting costs. ITV1's 'Midsomer Murders' at 9pm features vloggers discovering a film star's body. The drama 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' returns at 10pm on BBC Three, and the documentary series 'Nolan' airs at 10pm on BBC Two.
