Chronicling 25 Years of Violations: ICE Detention at Plymouth County Correctional Facility

IRHTP, PLS, Sept. 2024

"Consistent complaints over the last twenty-five years reveal a disturbing pattern of systemic abuse and mistreatment of ICE detainees at Plymouth County Correctional Facility. Drawing on formal and informal investigations and inquiries, reviews by outside agencies and documented internal grievances, this report by Boston University School of Law’s Immigrants’ Rights and Human Trafficking Program (“IRHTP”) and Prisoners’ Legal Services of Massachusetts (“PLS”) reveals an alarming disregard for the safety and wellbeing of those detained at Plymouth and makes key recommendations in advance of a September 2024 contract renegotiation."
