"I think a part of the reason why the hotline is so powerful is because of the bravery of people inside who are able to call and report the things they’re going through."

COVID-19 cases in detention facilities are hitting new records daily - with hundreds reports of medical neglect, abuse, and retaliation continue to pour into FFI's hotline.

One week after launching its COVID-19 hotline and interactive COVID-19 map, FFI has posted 89 reports from detention centers around the country that cite instances of unsanitary conditions, inadequate medical services and protests.

In times of global pandemic, the risk of abuse with no oversight is at an all-time high. This is why FFI has launched the COVID-19 Detention Hotline.
