NewzA federal report has revealed that immigrants held at a now-closed detention center in the Florida Everglades, colloquially referred to as 'Alligator Alcatraz,' were subjected to confinement in small metal enclosures. These structures were utilized by facility staff as 'calming areas' for periods lasting up to two hours.
The report concludes that the use of these enclosures fails to meet established standards for humane treatment. The facility, which is no longer in operation, has drawn scrutiny following these findings regarding the conditions under which detainees were held.
