Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees are taking their own lives at a pace that’s unprecedented in the agency’s two-decade history, highlighting what experts call failures in care and oversight.
Do you doubt that suicides are on the rise? I don’t at all and I’d argue that’s even worse than death from abuse or negligence.
I know we’re comparing the lesser or two evils here but people choosing to take their own lives really stresses the direness of detention to me. They might get sent to another country. They may never get released. They are so hopeless, they’d rather die.
The culprit is the same so I’m not shifting blame. I just completely believe that people are killing themselves. If I was in their situation, I might, too.
Nope. For reference, however, U.S. military personnel and defense contractors attempted to claim Abu Ghraib prisoners’ injuries were ‘self inflicted’. As in the prisoners were torturing themselves.
I sincerely doubt these “suicides” are being truthfully represented.
Ah… “suicide”… yes…
doubt
