Скачать или смотреть Louisiana Lockup: ICE opens new detention facility dubbed 'Camp 47'

A new Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility dubbed "Louisiana Lockup" is now open in Angola, LA.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi joined Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry for the announcement.

Fifty-one migrants have already been moved to the facility, a Department of Homeland Security official told Fox News.

The prison, known as Angola prison, sits on 18,000 acres, and was once named the "bloodiest prison in the South" for its harsh conditions. According to the Angola Museum, the prison earned the nickname in 1962 because stabbings became so common. Inmates sued the state in the early 1970s over the harsh conditions, and a federal court mandated reform.

"Louisiana Lockup" is the latest facility to be converted into an ICE detention facility, after "Alligator Alcatraz" in Florida, "Cornhusker Clink" In Nebraska and "Speedway Slammer" in Indiana.
