Obama’s Fascist Propaganda In Support of Karnes County Children Prison

ICE filmed children incarcerated at the Karnes County Child Prison to make its unlawful practice of locking up kids look more humane.

Interestingly, these photos and video undermine the purpose ICE had in the first place: in part of the video, one can clearly see that the solitary confinement room (euphemistically referred to as medical) is equipped with a heavy steel door and a double lock.

Note the metal intercom and button on the side of the door. In the many jails in New York and New Jersey that I have visited, the same exact intercom and button are used at each door within the facility. The purpose is to maintain the doors locked and only open them when the person pressing the intercom button has authorization to leave.

The following are images and video of children incarcerated at ICE’s Karnes County Prison:

The lock can only be opened by someone on the outside of the room.

The inside of the solitary confinement room at Karnes Jail used to punish children for the activities of their mothers, or if the child becomes ill.

Children prisoners filmed without consent by ICE to support their continued incarceration.
