Detained immigrants spent an average of 27 days in solitary confinement, well beyond the 15 days that the U.N. considers torture, write Katie Peeler, Anand Chukka, Brian Benitez and Natalie Sadlak.
“We found that ICE has used solitary confinement more than 14,000 times over the last five years alone. Detained immigrants spent an average of 27 days in solitary confinement, well beyond the 15 days that the U.N. considers torture. At least 42 people were held in solitary confinement by ICE for more than a year.”
How disgusting, especially after seeing the Channel 5 video where he gets detailed and details how the solitary rooms are kept as cold as possible and no beds, blankets, or showers were provided to add to the torture. I was shocked to learn that there are no constitutional rights in ICE jurisdiction.
