Using letters from detainees to emphasize the present deplorable state of affairs and the need for reform, the author reviews the Immigration and Naturalization Service's (INS) practice of housing detainees, including asylum seekers, in local jails. She discusses living conditions, medical care, legal representation, disciplinary sanctions, physical mistreatment, length of detention, U.S. law and policy, current legislation, the lack of uniform standards, and alternatives to detention. The initial section of the report presents a summary and both general and detailed recommendations to the INS, the U.S. Congress, the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention of the U.N. Human Rights Commission, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, and the Organization of American States.
