Two new immigration detention facilities have recently opened inside notorious prisons in Louisiana and Florida, sparking concerns about the treatment of detainees. The Louisiana State Penitentiary, also known as Angola Prison, is now home to a new facility run by the Department of Homeland Security. This move has raised alarm among advocates and lawmakers, as Angola Prison has a history of human rights abuses.

In addition to the Louisiana facility, a deportation depot has been opened inside a former prison in Florida. The facility is meant to house migrant detainees before they are either released or deported. Critics worry about the conditions inside the former prison, as well as the lack of oversight and accountability.

With the opening of these new immigration detention facilities inside notorious prisons, the debate over the treatment of detainees and the conditions in which they are held has been reignited. Advocates are calling for increased transparency and oversight to ensure that the rights of detainees are being respected. The Department of Homeland Security has defended the move, stating that the facilities are necessary to address the influx of migrants at the southern border.
