O.C. immigration detention center named among nation's 10 worst
According to the report, staff members at Theo Lacy have used racial slurs against detainees and have engaged in abusive behavior, including kicking detainees’ feet to wake them in the morning and throwing detainees’ lunches on the ground.
The report alleged that authorities at Theo Lacy punished detainees using solitary confinement. It cites several instances in which detainees allegedly did not receive needed medical care. Detainees are afraid to file grievances, and those who do complain sometimes do not receive a response, the report states. Some meals are described in the report as “moldy,” “frozen” and lacking fruits and vegetables.— LA Times
