Anthology of Abuse: End Three Decades of Abuse at the Elizabeth Detention Center

This ‘Anthology of Abuse’ compiles decades' worth of inhumane treatment at the Elizabeth Detention Center (EDC). The joint contract to operate the EDC between private prison company CoreCivic and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) expires on August 31. If renewed, the contract will be in direct conflict with a New Jersey state law signed by Governor Murphy in 2021, a law currently facing legal challenges from CoreCivic. The Biden administration now has the choice of siding with corporate interests or with its constituents by letting the contract end.
