A new report released Thursday by Amnesty International details what it describes as a “deliberate system built to punish, dehumanize, and hide the suffering” of immigrants in Florida, with documented human rights violations at two major detention centers that, in some cases, “amount to torture.”
The report, “Torture and enforced disappearances in the Sunshine State: Human rights violations at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ and Krome in Florida,” comes from an Amnesty International investigation of the state-run Everglades Detention Facility, known as “Alligator Alcatraz,” and the Krome North Service Processing Center.
