Photo and Video Evidence Unsealed in 2020
The following images show that inhumane conditions at Customs and Border Protection short-term detention facilities in Tucson, Arizona persist— despite an earlier court order in Doe v. Wolf. These images from early 2019 show:
- Overcrowding so severe that a person must crawl over a concrete bench to move around the cell.
- Men standing in the toilet stall of an overcrowded cell
According to the government’s own manual, they were not designed for people to sleep in the cells.
