Lissett: Karnes Detention Center, 2015
Lissett Pineda and her 11-year-old son, Alexis, spent nine months locked up at the Karnes Family Detention Center in Texas. She fled Honduras to protect her son, after learning about the death of one of Alexis’ close friends. Lissett arrived to the United States seeking asylum but instead was put behind bars. Fortunately, Lissett and her son were soon released shortly after this recording was completed.
