‘Alligator Alcatraz’ put detainees in metal cages labeled ‘calming areas’

Detainees at the infamous Alligator Alcatraz faced inhumane conditions, being confined in tiny metal cages the size of phone booths, which were ironically labeled as "calming areas." This disturbing revelation underscores the severe human rights violations occurring at the facility, shedding light on the desperate and dehumanizing treatment of those held there. Such practices raise serious ethical concerns and highlight the urgent need for reform in how detainees are treated in similar facilities worldwide. The implications extend beyond the immediate facility, calling attention to broader issues in the global detention system.
