THE U.S. HAS THE LARGEST IMMIGRATION DETENTION SYSTEM IN THE WORLD.

On any given day, tens of thousands of children and adults are detained in
immigrant jails and prisons across the U.S. They are denied access to a
court-appointed attorney, a free phone call, or a speedy trial. Many of them are
subjected to medical neglect, sexual and physical assault, and other human
rights abuses. Roughly 80 percent of adults in immigration detention are held
private prisons, and the rest are locked up in county and city jails, all of
which profit off their inhumane incarceration. The U.S. government and the
private prison industry have been exporting immigration detention to governments
across the globe. This is unacceptable.


THIS IS WHY WE ARE FIGHTING FOR FREEDOM FOR IMMIGRANTS. 
AND YOU CAN, TOO.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT
 
 
 

Freedom for Immigrants’ National Immigration Detention Hotline has been
restored. After it was featured in Orange Is The New Black, ICE terminated our
hotline. While we are still fighting, we have secured a preliminary injunction.
Please help us spread the word that anyone in detention nationwide can call us
for free by dialing our extension 9233. Learn more here.

Mapping Immigration Detention

NATIONAL BOND FUND


 
 

Detained immigrants sometimes have the opportunity to be released on a cash bond
— which is like bail — while fighting their cases.  Once bonded out, they are
eight times more likely to win their immigration cases. But without the ability
to pay a bond, many individuals are forced to languish in immigration detention
and away from their loved ones and communities. 

That's why we have developed a revolving bond fund to assist families who are
simply in need of a loan that may be recycled to help someone else win their
freedom in the future.

PINE PRAIRIE, LA — The Southeast Dignity Not Detention (SDND) coalition, a group
of local and national organizations committed to immigrants’ rights, today
applauds the impending closure of the Pine Prairie ICE Processing Center (Pine
Prairie), a remote immigrant detention center in Louisiana with a long history
of human rights abuses and inhumane conditions. The coalition is also calling on
