Federal Judge Orders Improvements at Everglades Immigration Detention Center

A federal judge in Florida has mandated changes at the Everglades immigration detention center, known as Alligator Alcatraz, to enhance access for detainees to their lawyers. The ruling includes provisions for timely, free, private phone calls, at least one working phone per twenty-five detainees, and shared information in multiple languages. This comes after complaints about difficulties in reaching clients and making surprise visits. State officials, who run the center, deny blocking access, citing security and staffing limitations.
