Watchdog Reports Alligator Alcatraz Cages
Nearly 80 immigrant detainees at Florida’s now-closed Alligator Alcatraz detention center were briefly confined in small metal enclosures, with durations up to nearly two hours, according to a federal watchdog report. The Department of Homeland Security inspector general found that these restrictive enclosures, used for de-escalation and disciplinary purposes, were highly unconventional and posed risks to detainee health and safety. The facility also featured overcrowded housing conditions, poor sanitation, limited access to clean water, and infested showers, raising concerns about adherence to detention standards.
