Part 4/5:
The visitor noted a significant reduction in the number of detainees — from nearly a thousand during a previous visit to just over 300 currently. This decline might suggest attempts to reduce capacity or impending closures, as the state seems aware that the facility could be shut down either soon or in the near future. Nonetheless, the conditions inside remain troubling.
Despite fewer detainees, overcrowding persists with reports of approximately 32 individuals crammed into each cage, indicating a continued lack of adequate space and basic rights for those detained. The visitor expressed particular distress that, despite the reduced population, conditions have not improved and detainees are still housed in cages with little regard for humane treatment.
