For this episode, we are returning to the conditions in immigrant detention centers. Alejandra spoke at the Fight Toxic Prisons conference in Pittsburgh, which was held earlier this month. Growing up in California, she was the only child in her family to be undocumented. As an adult in Arizona, she had a minor arrest that led to her incarceration in Eloy Deportation Center. Now, she sheds light on the conditions in the women’s detention facilities. Alejandra continued her organizing behind the walls of the detention center, and now that she is out, she is busy trying to share information about the conditions inside, as well as aid immigrants affected by deportation. Her message is vital in this current political climate. She makes sure to remind us that conditions in these detention centers are often the same as in prisons.
