Third, DHS's OIG found that Alligator Alcatraz failed to have any standardized policy with regards to medical management of people suffering drug or alcohol withdrawal, raising the risk of serious medical harm.

Key Finding 3: FSSF Did not Comply with Medical Standards Related to Withdrawal Monitoring While FSSF’s medical contractor [Footnote 18] has policies to monitor detainees at risk of drug or alcohol withdrawal, it did not use standardized forms to document the withdrawal monitoring process.

[Footnote 18] FSSF contracts with CDR Health to provide medical services to detainees.

Without these forms, staff cannot consistently quantify the severity of withdrawal symptoms, limiting the medical teams’ ability to develop individualized treatment plans.

Recommendation 6: We recommend the Executive Associate Director of Enforcement and Removal Operations implement standardized withdrawal monitoring tools to improve the assessment and management of detainee detoxification care.

Fourth, the DHS OIG found that detainees were not provided clean water and safe food.

One freezer used to store food was broken, and detainees were not given clean water. Each cell had a single 5-gallon water jug, and people got a single cup, never cleaned, for their entire stays.

Key Finding 4: FSSF Did not Comply with Food Service Standards During our inspection, we found one freezer was operating above the recommended temperature according to its temperature gauge. Storing perishable food at temperatures above required ranges may result in food spoilage, increasing the risk of foodborne illness for both staff and detainees. Freezers used to store perishable food should be maintained at 0 degrees Fahrenheit (0 °F) or below. 19 We observed a container labeled “Freezer #1” with a temperature gauge reading 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Approximately 17 minutes later, when checking the temperatures again, the gauge read 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Facility staff rely on the temperature gauges to ensure food is maintained at appropriate temperatures. Figures 14 and 15. Freezer No. 1 Exceeding Required Temperature; Observed January 21, 2026

Underneath are two pictures of a freezer taken at different times. The temperature on the picture on the left shows 10 degrees, the temperature on the picture on the right shows 14 degrees.

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL U.S. Department of Homeland Security Detainees told us they did not have access to clean drinking water and could not clean their plastic cups. Drinking potentially contaminated drinking water from unclean cups could negatively impact detainee health. According to standards,20 clean, potable drinking water should be available. At FSSF, detainees receive individual cups for drinking water, and each housing unit has at least one 5-gallon container of drinking water. Detainees use these cups to obtain drinking water from the container. During our detainee interviews, when asked if they had access to clean drinking water, six of the eight responded “No” and noted that the drinking water was dirty. Several detainees also expressed concerns about the inability to clean their cups. During our inspection, we observed cups placed on the floor, bed railings, and ledges on bathroom walls, with no dedicated storage areas for cups in the housing units. Figure 16. Drinking Water Container; Observed January 21, 2026

Underneath is a picture of an Igloo 5-gallon water jug balancing on the wall of the toilets in a cell.

Even though Alligator Alcatraz is now closed, the OIG report is still a scandal. It confirms many of the abusive conditions at the facility, which Florida outright denied.

Making matters worse, the OIG says another Florida facility is not getting ANY inspections from ICE.

Although FSSF ceased operations in June 2026, the issues raised by the Department’s management response regarding ICE’s level of oversight and responsibility for immigration detention remain consequential. For example, the Baker Correctional Institution (also known as “Deportation Depot”)26 is a state-operated detention facility that continues to operate in Sanderson, Florida. Baker, which opened in September 2025, housed 1,028 detainees as of August 27, 2026. ICE’s own documentation lists contractually obligated standards for Baker as “N/A” (as we found for FSSF) and Baker has not been internally inspected by ICE’s Office of Detention Oversight nor was it scheduled for inspection in FY 2026 or FY 2027.

The OIG finds that each person detained at Alligator Alcatraz was in cells offering just 28 square feet per detainee, less than half than the 75 required.

People could only leave their cells a few times per day, and were only allowed showers 3 times per week.

Key Finding 1: FSSF Did not Comply with Environmental Health and
Safety Standards
FSSF did not provide detainees with sufficient living space — less than half of what is required —
creating cramped conditions for detainees who spent most of their time in their housing units.
The lack of living space risks detainees’ well-being and may negatively impact their physical and
mental health. The applicable standards require at least 75 square feet of floor space per inmate
in dormitory8 housing units.9
At maximum capacity, the FSSF housing units provided 28 square
feet per detainee — well below the required minimum. Detainees spent most of their time in the
housing units; they could only leave their units for:
• mealtime (three times a day);10
• recreation (1 hour a day, 3 days a week);
• showers (three times a week); and
• medical reasons.

General Population FSSF’s general population housing consisted of eight windowless soft-sided structures, or housing pods, without views to the outside and a lack of natural light. Each soft-sided structure contained eight housing units surrounded by metal fencing on all sides, measured 39 feet long by 23 feet wide (897 square feet of floor space). The units were topped with metal fencing that was 9 feet high. Each unit contained three toilets, three wash basins, and four telephones. They were designed to hold 32 detainees (See Figures 2-7). Furnishings in the enclosures consisted of bunk beds with no common areas, seating, tables, or storage areas provided

Figure 4: Inside a Detainee Housing Unit; Observed January 21, 2026. The picture shows a row of bunk beds set up in a small interior space surrounded by chain-link fence. In the middle of the space is a set of three toilets, entirely open, with a low 3-4 foot high wall blocking full view (but the toilets would be entirely visible form people on the top bunks). Perched on the wall of the toilets is a large water jug.

A close-up image of the toilet set-up, with the paint shown as already peeling. The toilets are standard prison toilets which are both toilet and sink.

DHS's OIG also confirms people were punished in tiny outdoor cages. We knew they existed but had never seen pictures.

The OIG calls these outdoor metal cages "unprecedented" and "highly unconventional," and says they were a "significant risk[] to detainee health and well-being."

Small Metal Enclosures Used as “Calming Areas”
Between July 17, 2025, and January 18, 2026, FSSF confined 79 detainees in small metal
enclosures — each offering about 18 square feet of floor space — for periods ranging from several
minutes to nearly 2 hours, a practice unlike any OIG team has observed in ICE facilities. The use
of such restrictive spaces is highly unconventional and does not align with standards for humane
treatment.15 The use of these small metal enclosures is inconsistent with standards, which state
that facilities maintain detainees in the least restrictive environment necessary for facility safety
and security.16 During our inspection, we observed at least two small metal enclosures in the
outdoor recreation areas (see Figures 11 and 12). According to facility staff, the small metal
enclosures measure approximately 4 feet 3 inches by 4 feet 3 inches and 7 feet 9 inches tall.
Facility staff described the small metal enclosures as “calming areas” for detainees to deescalate and have time alone. Staff further maintained that detainees asked to spend time in the
small metal enclosures. We found at least one instance in which the small metal enclosures may
have been used as a disciplinary tool. Documentation provided by FSSF noted that one detainee
who spent 26 minutes in a small metal enclosure “Failed to comply with a lawful command.”

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL U.S. Department of Homeland Security Staff also reported that time spent in the small metal enclosures is closely monitored, and detainees are not locked in, even though we observed locking mechanisms on the enclosures. Figures 11 and 12. Small Metal Enclosures; Observed January 21, 2026

Underneath are the two pictures at the top of the thread, showing the horrible cages in which people were kept

OFFICE OF INSPECTOR GENERAL
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
In March 2026, two U.S. Senators raised concerns and made an inquiry to the Department
regarding the use of these enclosures at FSSF.17 Their letter cited reports from nongovernmental
organizations and the media alleging that detainees were confined in these outdoor structures
as punishment, sometimes subjected to direct sunlight, high temperatures, humidity, insects,
use of restraints for hours, and denial of food or water. When we asked ICE officials about the
enclosures, they reported to us that these enclosures were used for disciplinary issues, crisis
intervention, housing changes, and conflicts among detainees. ICE also reported that all
detainees were placed in hand restraints when they were escorted to the small metal enclosures,
but not while in them.
We were unable to independently confirm or refute ICE officials’ assertions regarding their use of
the enclosures, as well as other allegations, such as deprivation of food or water while in the
enclosures, as none of the detainees we interviewed reported experiencing these conditions
during our unannounced inspection. Use of these small metal enclosures for any reason is
unprecedented among ICE facilities inspected by OIG. Confining individuals in small metal
enclosures for any reason presents significant risks to detainee health and well-being.

Finally, DHS's OIG found that Florida violated standards requiring people be given minimum 6 hours recreation per week, on at least 4 days. Instead, Florida only permitted people 1 hour, 3 days a week.

As OIG points out, this made the tiny cells with no common areas even worse.
