The NGO Human Rights Watch has made public a report on the situation of the retention centers for migrants in the United States in which they denounce serious abuses, torture and vexations: not only They warn of the overcrowding of prisoners -who live in inhuman conditions in the prisons of Florida -but that they regret that they have to endure episodes of cold and extreme heat, that they are repeatedly denied health care, which are beaten and even forced to eat with handwritten hands on their backs as if they were animals. A situation that leads many of them, according to HRW, to ask for “self -portedness.”
In HRW’s spotlight is Aligator Alcatraz
Human Rights Watch puts the focus on the centers of Florida, the state that has registered more dead in police custody so far this year, with at least five dead, and where President Donald Trump has just opened Aligator Alcatraz: His star prison surrounded by caimanes in the Everglades and very criticized by the neighbors. “I live 4 miles away from what is happening in Aligator Alcatraz. I think it is very important that our voice is heard,” says a neighbor of the Everglades. “The concentration camps are wrong. It is a serious mistake to imprison people without giving them due process,” adds Richard (American of Colombian origin).
On a hundred pages the NGO denounces The total human rights absence at the Miami Federal Detention Center, also in Center for Broward and at the Krome processing center (All in Florida). In the latter, the number of prisoners has tripled in just a few months, exceeding up to three times its capacity.
