Immigrants detained in three Florida detention centers have been subject to inhumane conditions, according to a report from advocacy group Human Rights Watch released Monday.
The 92-page report documents some alleged conditions detainees have seen at Florida’s Krome North Service Processing Center, Broward Transitional Center and the Federal Detention Center in Miami. The report involved interviews with 11 detained individuals, family members of seven detainees, 14 immigration lawyers and data analysis.
Allegations of substandard medical care were prominent in the report, which cited examples such as a woman with gallstones who vomited and passed out after not receiving care for days. After receiving emergency surgery, she was returned to the same cell without medication.
