One guard has died. Two employees and 14 migrants say a staff shortage has left detainees in cells without access to showers, laundry and other necessities.
One of the employees told NBC News in July:"Sometimes we don't have enough staff to let out a pod," referring to cellblocks of about 50 people."They stay on lockdown because we don't have enough staff to open that pod."
Yarjelis also said:"For hygiene, we get three little containers of shampoo, about 1.5 ounces each per week. We do not get soap." "These are baseless allegations, and the claims simply do not reflect the affirmative, proactive measures to combat the spread of COVID-19 our facility has been taking for months. We care deeply for our hard-working, dedicated employees and the detainees in our care, and we're committed to their safety. We work hard to ensure that they have the necessary tools to feel safe doing their jobs every day.
"Part of our COVID-19 comprehensive planning includes contingencies to employ staff from other facilities from around the country with lower COVID-19 impacts to support facilities that may have higher COVID-19 impacts," a spokesperson said in a statement.
