The Louisiana prison chosen to hold immigration detainees because of its notoriety was once described as "the bloodiest prison in America" and has witnessed mass riots, inmate violence, and systemic brutality. The "Louisiana Lockup" was revealed on Wednesday as the latest federal immigration detention site, with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem saying the facility had "absolutely" been selected for its reputation. The "Camp 57" facility, located on the grounds of the former Angola slave plantation, is designed to hold up to 400 detainees, with 51 already transferred as of early September. ICE has faced criticism due to allegations of poor, inhumane conditions in its detention facilities, including overcrowding and inadequate medical care. This announcement is part of a wider effort under the Trump administration to expand immigration detention infrastructure across Republican-led states. Similar facilities include Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz," Indiana's "Speedway Slammer," and Nebraska's "Cornhusker Clink." These moves are encouraged by provisions in the "One Big Beautiful Bill." Angola's history as a former slave plantation turned maximum-security prison has led to a reputation as one of America's harshest penitentiaries. The prison occupies some 18,000 acres, according to the Angola Museum and historical records, and it was later operated as a prison farm with extensive forced-labor practices.

Arrest immigrants in blue cities, and then ship them to the worst prisons in red states. Trump is happy. Red state governors are happy. Red state prison wardens are happy with more cells filled.

It's all a game so Donald Trump can claim he's super-tough on immigration. Americans are tiring of this cruel game.....

What better place for hardened criminals to spend time than Angola. Violent and dangerous criminals need to be in a prison that keeps them far from the general public and ensures that they pay their debt to society for their crimes. Angola does that. They don't deserve club med. As far as allegations about prison conditions, I don't think we can actually believe anything that comes from the left anymore as they routinely complain about anything and everything. The Trump Russian Collusion hoax hilites the way democrats report to the American people based on fabricated evidence, lies, misinformation and fear, hate and scare tactics. When your history is one of repeated lies you can't be believed on anything.

So instead of being deported they're provided very expensive accommodation at taxpayer expense.

Brilliant

"Absolutely".
What else would you expect from the puppy killer?

 

[Jezcoe]

They are being cartoonishly evil at this point.

Do you believe that schools arrange transgender surgeries? Do you believe that Democratic politicians favour post-birth 'abortions'? Do you believe that the sound of windmills causes cancer? Do you believe that Trumps father was born in Germany?

Florida taxpayers got the bill for $218M to build Alligator Alcatraz. Operational costs were expected to reach $450M/year, and right now it's costing them $20M to shut it down.

With Trump, cruelty is the point.

No wonder he's been married three times.

I think we should put you in that prison. After all, none of the claims of violence are real, right?

Another missed opportunity to not name it "Gator Gitmo".

He should self deport.

He should self deport.

Or else the US government will put them in hardcore notorious prisons. I’m guessing you don’t see the problem here.
