First on Fox – A new one migrant Customs law enforcement detention centers, known as the “Louisiana Lock,” are now open in the notorious Louisiana State Prison to accommodate some of the “worst”, illegal immigrants who commit crimes.
Fifty-one immigrants have been moved to the facility. Homeland Security Officials told Fox News.
Known as the Angola Prison, the prison is located on 18,000 acres of land and was once known as the “bloodiest prison in the south” for its harsh conditions. According to the Angola Museum, the prison received a nickname in 1962 because stabbing became so common. Prisoners sued the state in the early 1970s for severe conditions, and federal courts demanded reforms.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is working with Louisiana Use part of the prison to expand the detention space for 416 beds. Funding comes from “a large bill” that allows ICE to add 80,000 new detention beds to help increase deportation.
