My first thought about the enslavement is that the threat of killing their family would be a powerful disincentive to turn on the cartel. Either way this is tragic, I feel for all those affected by this.

Are you really going to risk having your whole family eradicated? I think it would only take a couple surveillance pictures of all of their family members for them to cooperate even if they realize there is no way they will make it out alive.
