A Department of Homeland Security report confirmed that detainees at the now-closed "Alligator Alcatraz" immigration detention center in Florida were held in small metal enclosures labeled as "calming areas," often for up to two hours, raising concerns about humane treatment. The facility, open for less than a year, was criticized for overcrowded conditions, limited access to basic needs such as water and hygiene, and violations of detention standards. DHS claimed the facility met federal standards, but the Inspector General found significant deficiencies, including inadequate space and poor living conditions.
