ICE to make detention centers more humane
via. http://www.kfiam640.com/pages/jk2010.html
These detention centers often have illegal aliens who have finished their prison sentence and are on their way to their home country. They can be at these centers for a week to 2 months at any onetime depending on the availability of a judge to handle their immigration violations. If only 5% of them are bad...that means that the union of patrol agents is against this because of the safety of its offers and those detained in the facility.
For example, they removed the doors in the ward and soon thereafter many women were raped in the facility.
"They will be offering dance classes, art classes, cooking classes, movie nights, bingo, continental breakfast and even fresh carrot sticks!
Call this doofus John Morton from ICE and ask him why they are using taxpayer money to pay for illegal alien resorts! This must be stopped! You are paying for this!

The 28 changes identified in the e-mail range from the superficial to the substantive. In addition to “softening the look of the facility” with hanging plants and offering fresh carrot sticks, ICE will allow for the “free movement” of low-risk detainees, expand visiting hours and provide unmonitored phone lines.
ICE officials said the changes are part of broader efforts to make the immigration detention system less penal and more humane.
But the plans are prompting protests by ICE's union leaders, who say they will jeopardize the safety of agents, guards and detainees and increase the bottom line for taxpayers. Tre Rebstock, president for Local 3332, the ICE union in Houston, likened the changes to creating “an all-inclusive resort” for immigration detainees.
“Our biggest concern is that someone is going to get hurt,” he said, taking particular issue with plans to relax restrictions on the movement of low-risk detainees and efforts to reduce and eliminate pat-down searches.
The changes outlined in the ICE e-mail are planned for nine detention centers owned and operated by Corrections Corporation of America, including the 900-bed Houston Contract Detention Facility on the city's north side.
Some of the changes will be implemented within 30 days; others may take up to six months, said Beth Gibson, ICE's senior counselor to Assistant Secretary John Morton and a leader of the detention reform effort.
Other major changes include:
• Eliminating lockdowns and lights-out for low-risk detainees.
• Allowing visitors to stay as long as they like in a 12-hour period.
• Providing a unit manger so detainees have someone to report problems to other than the guard.
• Allowing low-risk detainees to wear their own clothing or other non-penal attire.
• Providing e-mail access and Internet-based free phone service.
