A federal inspection at the Winn Correctional Center in Louisiana identified several safety violations, including the use of a prohibited chokehold and an incident where an officer stabbed a detainee with a pen. The inspection report from the Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General noted that these incidents, along with others, posed threats to the health and safety of detainees. The facility, which houses approximately 1,500 ICE detainees, was also found to be unsanitary, with issues such as leaks in the kitchen and inadequate food storage temperatures. Investigators indicated that about half of the violations still require remediation, which could negatively impact the health, safety, and rights of detainees.
