Summary: | Following a 2006 detainee death, an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) investigation condemned the medical unit at a private Virginia detention facility for failing to meet minimum ICE standards, and described the facility as "fail[ing] on multiple levels to perform basic supervision and provide for the safety and welfare of ICE detainees." The report, which was obtained via FOIA by the American Civil Liberties Union, presaged the death of a Virginia resident in November 2008 as a result of a treatable infection after his requests for medical attention were allegedly ignored for over a week. | ||
