A detainee at the Florida immigration detention center known as Alligator Alcatraz has been on hunger strike for at least nine days, the latest in a string of detainees to allege being mistreated at the prison in the Everglades.
“Since my life no longer belongs to me, it’s up to them to decide whether I live or die,” detainee Pedro Lorenzo Concepción, 44, told El País from inside the facility.
