WORLD WIDE AFRICA THE VOICE OF THE PAN AFRICAN MOVEMENT

The largest prison population ever in the history of this country produces slave labor.

T. Don Hutto Residential Center

The T. Don Hutto Residential Center is a former medium-security prison in Taylor, Texas, which, from 2006 to 2009, held immigrant detainees ages 2 and up under a pass-through contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) division of Homeland Security. After local and national protests, federal officials announced on August 6, 2009, that it would no longer house immigrant families in this prison. Instead, only female detainees will be housed there. In September 2009, the last families left the facility and were moved to the Berks Family Residential Center in Pennsylvania.(owned by the Nakamoto Group). In November 2015, a hunger strike at the Hutto Center quickly grew to include 500 immigrant females. They were protesting their extended detention in this center.
