Blog #4(semester 2)

This week I read an article called; Report Faults Treatment of Women held at immigration centers. This article is from the New York Times and was written by Dan Frosch. This article talks about a study that concluded that some immigration centers in Arizona have some serious health delay and mistreatment issues. The study also concluded that immigration officials are too harsh and too aggressive with the women when keeping them. These women suffered problems such as cancer and other severe medical conditions. These reports were considered biased by detainees, their lawyers, and other immigration center employees. Apparently mistreatment of women is not uncommon at these immigration centers. Immigration centers have been continuously encouraged and enforced to improve their conditions. Especially focusing on how the women are treated by detainees. Owners of these facilities insist that if there is a problem, it will be fixed. For example, if they find out that a detainee is incorrectly treating a woman, that detainee will be moved to a different facility. Many occasions of women being mistreated have occured. I think it is unethical and unjust to hold someone captive while they suffer. Especially if the suffering is in the expense of another being, such as a pregnant women being held in a detention center. The child could suffer as well as the mother which isn't right.
