Detained and Abused
"The Government Accountability Office has agreed to launch an
investigation into sexual abuse at U.S. immigration detention centers,
following recent reports of abuse and a request from 30 members of
Congress that GAO conduct an inquiry. The announcement comes as the
Obama administration decides whether it will include immigrant
detainees, the fastest-growing incarcerated population in the country,
in pending regulations on prison rape prevention due out early this
year." - Catherine Rentz, National Journal, Feb. 2, 2012.
