Hearings on Rape and Other Abuse in Immigration Detention Facilities

By immigrationprof

The National Prison Rape Elimination Commission Hearing held hearings in December 2006 pn “The Elimination of Prison Rape: Immigration Facilities and Personnel/Staffing/Labor Relations.”  Transcripts to the testimony of former detainees, attorneys, and others can be found by clicking here.

Sadly, the fact that immigration detention has been a growth industry in the last ten years has not meant that we as a nation have gotten any better about how detainees are treated while incarcerated.
