A federal Department of Homeland Security Inspector General report has revealed that detainees at the former immigration detention camp known as 'Alligator Alcatraz' were held in small metal cages. Dozens of individuals were confined in these spaces, which were referred to as 'calming areas,' for up to two hours.
The report concluded that the practice at the now-closed facility failed to meet acceptable standards for humane treatment. The findings confirm long-standing concerns regarding conditions at the notorious camp.
