The Northwest Detention Center is guilty of inhumane treatment
and violations of detainees human and Constitutional rights. This is
according to a recent detailed report by One America and the S. U.
School of Law. Detainees receive terrible medical care and food,
family visitation is cut short, there's poor access to legal
representation, and it's overcrowded. The detention center is operated
by a private profit-making company--Geo. Geo receives $95 a day to
lock up each prisoner. Now Geo
wants to expand this 1000 bed prison to house 1500.

The government is using racial profiling and violating the civil
rights of immigrant workers whose only "crime" is working. The Wall
St. banks who are guilty of criminal lending practices are given a
bailout, while immigrant workers are scapegoated! We will bring coffee
and food, support and solidarity to visiting families and loved ones at
the detention center. We have had a great convergence of organizations
at the vigils this fall, but we need more support in the winter months.
Stop the Mass Firings, Raids, Deportations and Jailings of Immigrant Workers! Shut down the NW
Detention Center!
