Civil rights groups have filed a complaint over what they describe as “inhumane conditions” at the federal wing of the Baker County Detention Center.
The 102-page federal complaint, which was filed by 16 groups on behalf of 15 current and former detainees, described the facility as a “living hell.”
In the complaint, the current and former detainees also allege that officers routinely took them into jail cells that don’t have cameras, beat them and used pepper spray. Jacoski says the abuse intensified after about 100 people began a hunger strike in response to the inhumane condition in May. Jacoski says those who reported the abuse are fearful for their lives, after calling a national immigration hotline. She says ICE has been aware of the treatment for months now and refuses to do anything about it.“It’s clear that over the years, ICE and Baker have been unable to treat people humanely, detain them and respect their basic human rights,” Jacoski said.
