Immigrant Detention & Human Rights Project
The immigrant detention system in the United States has seen unprecedented growth in the past 10 years. Amongst those affected by detention expansion are society’s most vulnerable. Immigrant families are ripped apart when a long-time resident parent is detained for long periods of time. Asylum seekers are incarcerated for months or years while their cases are resolved by an unwieldy immigration court system. Children are psychologically traumatized while incarcerated in the T. Don Hutto prison.
