Decarcerate the Garden State Justice Committee calls upon justice loving people to call the warden at the facility and to support the demands of the striking detainees. This is a CCA privatized facility.

Demand that there be no police action
against the striking detainees.
These detainees should not even
be held. It is a profit driven system
that both political parties are feeding
with the failed immigration policies.
The detainees at great personal
risk are demanding an end to violence and an investigation into possible
murders by CCA guards.
Please spread this action call.

The detainees say they have a list of demands that need to be met for the strike to end, including:
The independent investigation into two recent deaths that had mysterious circumstances and problems of guards using excessive force.
The conditions of their detainment be improved which would include both medical and mental health care.
They must have access to legal resources and court hearings if requested.
The exploitation of the detainees' work be ended.
There should be no more criminalization , detention, and deportation.
