Two South Florida migrant detention facilities have engaged in treatment that Amnesty International says could amount to torture and violate international human rights standards, according to a report released Thursday.
The 48-page document focuses on the federal Krome North Services Processing Center and the state-run Everglades detention site known as "Alligator Alcatraz." Amnesty alleges detainees faced conditions including prolonged solitary confinement at Krome and confinement inside a two-foot-high metal cage — referred to as "the box" — at Alligator Alcatraz.
