Overall, our inspections of four detention facilities revealed violations of ICE’s 2011 Performance-Based National Detention Standards, which set requirements for facilities housing detainees. This report summarizes findings on our latest round of unannounced inspections at four detention facilities housing ICE detainees. Although the conditions varied among the facilities and not every problem was present at each, our observations, detainee and staff interviews, and document reviews revealed severalcommon issues. Because we observed immediate risks oregregious violations of detention standards at facilities inAdelanto, CA, and Essex County, NJ, including nooses indetainee cells, overly restrictive segregation, inadequatemedical care, unreported security incidents, andsignificant food safety issues, we issued individual reportsto ICE after our visits to these two facilities. All fourfacilities had issues with expired food, which putsdetainees at risk for food-borne illnesses. At threefacilities, we found that segregation practices violatedstandards and infringed on detainee rights. Two facilitiesfailed to provide recreation outside detainee housing units.Bathrooms in two facilities’ detainee housing units weredilapidated and moldy. At one facility, detainees were notprovided appropriate clothing and hygiene items to ensurethey could properly care for themselves. Lastly, one facilityallowed only non-contact visits, despite being able toaccommodate in-person visitation. Our observationsconfirmed concerns identified in detainee grievances,which indicated unsafe and unhealthy conditions tovarying degrees at all of the facilities we visited.
The Adelanto, LaSalle, and Aurorafacilities are owned and operated by the GEO Group Inc., and the Essex facility is owned and operated by the Essex County Department of Corrections.
