A coalition of advocacy groups on Monday released a report outlining brutal conditions inmates say they experience at the GEO Group's 1,532-bed Aurora Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center.
Organizers hope the report fuels the effort to shut down the facility and free the people inside — an outcome they insist is possible, even as Immigration and Customs Enforcement expands its detention facilities nationwide, including in Colorado.
The organization says the report is an extension of the oversight efforts of Democratic Rep. Jason Crow.
The organizers took testimony from 31 detainees who expressed concerns about poor medical treatment, unlivable conditions, abusive guard behavior and poor nutrition.
