Human rights group visits Texas detention center

A team from Amnesty International visited the nation's largest immigrant detention center and reported that detainees there face numerous obstacles to arguing against deportation.

[Concerned Relative]

I currently have a family member that was recently transferred to this facility. There are 6 confirmed cases of swine flu in their dorm and now my relative is sick as well but has been denied medical attention because someone in the unit called the local news in desperation for something to be done. The response was the guards telling them how sorry they were going to be for snitching to the media. If anyone is reading this and can help in any way it would definately be a humanitarian act as they are being treated like animals. My relative was given a face mask but no clean up has been done while those around her are violently ill with swine flu as confirmed to them by the guards. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SOMEONE HELP THEM, THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS AND STILL HAVE RIGHTS.

[Yes they do]

( The U.S. prison industrial complex does NOT dicriminates when it comes to making money[ profiteering] there is no honor amongst thieves ( those who profit from arbitrary/ unconstitutional laws and those who erode your rights as a citizen)

I am sorry for the pain the family goes through watching their loved ones in prison. Though you are not the ones in prison, you suffer just as much or even more. My prayers go out to you. I mean that sincerely. I pray I am never in your situation.
To you, they are family, to the rest of us, they are criminals. Our prisons are over populated because of people making bad decisions of their own choice.They hurt other people, other families.
It is hard to feel sorry for them. Prison shouldn't be a easy place to live. It's a place to pay for the crimes that have been commited.

Many of our citizens are in prison because laws have been created in such a way as to make being a human being a criminal act. I once read something to the effect of, if one abides by the ten commandments our Holy Heavenly Father gave to us, all other laws follow. Those are the only laws we need.

Not all people are Christians, so that wouldn't apply to everyone. Be realistic. And EVEN if that were the case, then most of us would be in prison. God gave us free will and he also gave us good common sense to create laws to protect us.
