ICE detainees in Georgia used the facility’s video calling software to expose the conditions inside

Four men detained at an ICE processing center in rural Georgia used the center’s video‑conferencing system to show how the legal system is deliberately broken, keeping them in federal custody for long periods. They explained that privately owned facilities profit from their confinement and that the work program pays them very little for cooking, laundry, and cleaning. The video revealed the conditions inside the center.
