A recent Department of Homeland Security inspector general report highlighted severe issues at Alligator Alcatraz, an immigrant detention facility in the Florida Everglades that housed up to 1,500 people before its closure last summer. The report documented the use of metal cages as calming spaces and other troubling conditions, prompting condemnation from advocacy groups like the ACLU. While Alligator Alcatraz drew significant public attention due to its location and symbolic name, a separate facility in northern Florida—Baker Correctional Institution, rebranded by Governor Ron DeSantis as “Deportation Depot”—has received far less scrutiny despite holding approximately 1,000 detainees as of last month. Operated by the GEO Group under state management, the remote facility in Baker County lacks regular ICE oversight, with no scheduled inspections through 2027. Unlike its predecessor, Baker receives limited media coverage, partly due to its isolation and the dispersed nature of its detainee population, many of whom are from Cuba, Venezuela, Honduras, Guatemala, and Russia. Families and advocacy organizations have raised alarms about prolonged medical delays, inadequate nutrition, extreme heat from broken air conditioning, and restricted access to legal counsel. Detainees have reported irregular meal schedules, including breakfast served as early as 3 a.m., and portion sizes so small that some lost significant weight. One Venezuelan detainee described surviving on minimal rations, including two spoonfuls of scrambled eggs and canned fruit cocktail, while another reported developing skin lesions without medical attention. Legal advocates note parallels between Baker and Alligator Alcatraz, including delays in attorney access and missed court appointments. ICE has deferred inquiries to state officials, who have not responded to requests for comment. Despite these conditions, public awareness remains low, with protests led by groups like the Micah Solidarity Project drawing only dozens of participants monthly. Organizers emphasize the importance of sustained visibility, holding gatherings near the facility to offer spiritual support and draw attention to what they describe as systemic mistreatment. For many detained individuals, the lack of external attention underscores a broader challenge in holding immigration detention centers accountable, particularly when located far from major population centers or immigrant communities.
