ICE detainees in Georgia used the facility’s video calling software to expose the conditions inside

佐治亚州移民及海关执法局（ICE）的被拘留者利用该设施的视频通话软件揭露了内部状况。

Four men detained at an ICE detention center in rural Georgia used the facility’s video conferencing software to expose both the conditions inside and President Donald Trump’s hostile takeover of the immigration courts. In the five-minute video, the men describe an intentionally dysfunctional legal system designed to keep them trapped in federal custody for months or years — in privately owned facilities that profit from their confinement.

四名被关押在佐治亚州农村地区一家ICE拘留中心的男子，利用该设施的视频会议软件揭露了内部环境以及唐纳德·特朗普总统对移民法庭的敌意接管。在这段五分钟的视频中，这些人描述了一个蓄意功能失调的法律体系，旨在将他们长期困在联邦拘留所中——这些私营设施正从他们的监禁中获利。

The video cost the men, literally and figuratively. The Folkston ICE Processing Center has a work program for detainees in which they are paid a pittance to cook, do laundry, or clean. These wages allow them to buy supplementary food in Folkston’s commissary and stay connected to people outside. “The workers here are paid $1 a day, which is just enough for a 10-minute phone call,” said Idris Makhmudov, one of the men in the video, who says he has been detained in Folkston for 27 months and counting.

这段视频让这些人付出了代价，无论是字面意义上还是象征意义上。福克斯顿（Folkston）ICE处理中心为被拘留者提供了一项工作计划，他们通过烹饪、洗衣或清洁工作获得微薄的报酬。这些工资使他们能够在福克斯顿的商店购买补充食品，并与外界保持联系。视频中的一名男子伊德里斯·马克穆多夫（Idris Makhmudov）说：“这里的工人每天工资为1美元，刚好够打10分钟电话。”他表示自己已经在福克斯顿被拘留了27个月，且拘留仍在继续。

Makhmudov and the three other men, who are from several different countries, appear in drab, facility-issued uniforms. Their images are blurred by the low-resolution cameras on the detention center’s tablets. It’s unclear exactly how the men made the video, but it’s possible that they called someone on the outside who recorded their message to the outside world. Samantha Hamilton, an Atlanta-based immigration attorney with Asian Americans Advancing Justice, said she received a YouTube link to the video via a Signal chat.

马克穆多夫和其他三名来自不同国家的男子身穿单调的设施统一制服出镜。由于拘留中心平板电脑上的摄像头分辨率较低，他们的影像显得模糊不清。目前尚不清楚这些人具体是如何制作这段视频的，但他们很可能是通过拨打外部电话，由对方录下了他们向外界传达的信息。亚特兰大移民律师、亚裔美国人正义促进会（Asian Americans Advancing Justice）成员萨曼莎·汉密尔顿（Samantha Hamilton）表示，她通过Signal聊天软件收到了该视频的YouTube链接。

“We’ve learned that everyone in the video that was released this weekend has been put into segregation,” said Hamilton, a member of the Shut Down Folkston campaign. “They’re facing retaliation, and they were expecting that.” Since then, 45 detainees wrote an open letter further detailing the conditions at Folkston, and an estimated 73 detainees are now on a hunger strike.

“我们得知，周末发布的视频中出现的所有人都已被隔离，”作为“关闭福克斯顿”运动成员的汉密尔顿说，“他们正面临报复，而他们对此早有预料。”此后，45名被拘留者写了一封公开信，进一步详细说明了福克斯顿的情况，目前估计有73名被拘留者正在进行绝食抗议。

ICE detention isn’t supposed to be a form of punishment; its purpose is ostensibly to ensure that people in deportation proceedings show up to their hearings. But ICE facilities are virtually indistinguishable from prisons — a point the men in the video make repeatedly. Folkston, in fact, was a prison before it became an immigrant detention center. It has many of the hallmarks of prison life, including expensive communication tools that detainees are forced to rely on to talk to people on the outside.

ICE拘留本不应是一种惩罚形式；其表面目的是确保处于驱逐程序中的人能够出席听证会。但ICE设施实际上与监狱并无二致——视频中的男子反复强调了这一点。事实上，福克斯顿在成为移民拘留中心之前就是一座监狱。它具有许多监狱生活的特征，包括被拘留者被迫依赖昂贵的通讯工具来与外界联系。

“These facilities leave people with very few options to be able to communicate with their loved ones,” said Hamilton, who has had several clients detained at Folkston. She said each “pod” of 60 to 70 detainees has access to just three or four tablets, their only connection to the outside world.

“这些设施让人们几乎没有其他选择来与亲人沟通，”曾在福克斯顿代理过几名被拘留客户的汉密尔顿说。她表示，每个容纳60到70名被拘留者的“监区”只有三到四台平板电脑，这是他们与外界联系的唯一途径。
