08.13.25 Tell Congress: Block Angola Prison Immigration Detention
Trump plans to house 450 immigrant detainees at Angola prison, which is known as one of "America's bloodiest prisons."
Here are the cruel facts:
Angola is known as the "bloodiest prison in the South"
Proposed wing is "not suitable for human occupation"
Asylum seekers are treated like maximum-security criminals
Deliberate intimidation through brutal conditions is routine
This type of detention policy is designed to intimidate immigrant families, and we must stop it.
The problem is clear:
Historical violence at notorious facility
Unsafe conditions in proposed detention wing
Civil cases treated like violent crimes
450 families targeted for cruel punishment
We cannot allow immigration enforcement through deliberate brutality.
Immigration enforcement must be humane—not designed to terrorize.
In solidarity,
