Английская Википедия:Irwin County Detention Center
The Irwin County Detention Center is a private prison operated by Louisiana-based LaSalle Corrections[1] located in Irwin County, Georgia. At least 43 women prisoners and a whistleblower nurse came forward alleging non-consensual surgeries and medically unnecessary procedures, including hysterectomies, were performed by a gynecologist affiliated with the jail.[2][3][4][5][6][7] Following the allegations of abuse, ICE terminated its contract with the facility.[8]
On December 22, 2020, forty migrant women being held at the Irwin County Detention Center immigration detention center filed a lawsuit alleging abuse and unnecessary forced medical procedures, including the hysterectomies.[9] The women also complained of retaliation and subpar COVID-19 treatment. The Department of Justice (DoJ) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are conducting investigations; advocates have called upon President Joe Biden and Congress to investigate the abuse and close the Irwin County Detention Center.[9] ICE opted to let its contract with LaSalle expire and not renew it; in September 2021, ICE removed its immigration-related detainees from the prison with the completion of the contract.[10]
