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.
WASHINGTON — , with a guard dying of the disease, and according to two employees and 14 migrants, a shortage of staff has left detainees in their cells without access to showers, laundry and other necessities.
Lawyers for the Florence Project, one of the groups fighting to release more migrants, spoke to 13 of their Eloy clients in June and said nearly all reported a decline in the number of guards who usually watch their cells. A third account from June said:"Another client in Eloy reports being locked up from 6 p.m. onward during the week and all day over the weekend. She reports not getting food or water for over 24 hours over the weekend due to lack of staffing."
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." Responding to Davila's allegations, CoreCivic said,"Soap and other basic essentials like shampoo are provided to detainees free of charge. Detainees can request and obtain additional soap as needed."
A 'war zone'An employee said that in recent weeks he and others have been scared to go to work at Eloy. He said leaders at the facility should have done a better job informing staff early on whether they had come into contact with someone with the virus.
