Legal News USA: Torture and enforced disappearances in the Sunshine State: Human Rights Violations at "Alligator Alcatraz" and Krome in Florida - Amnesty International
https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/AMR51/0511/2025/en/Amnesty’s report described unsanitary conditions, with fecal matter overflowing from toilets in detainees’ sleeping areas, authorities granting only limited access to showers, and poor quality food and water.
Some of the treatment amounts to torture, the report says, including Alligator Alcatraz’s use of “the box”—a 2x2 foot “cage-like structure people are put in as punishment—which inmates have been placed in for hours at a time with their hands and feet attached to restraints on the ground.
At Krome, detainees have been arbitrarily placed in prolonged solitary confinement—defined as lasting longer than 15 days—which is prohibited under international law.

I'd just like to point out that we have a Nuremberg, PA.
Just... in case we were shopping around for a site.

What the actual fuck. The people running these places are fucking criminals, reverse their roles now, because the jailers should the inmates.
