For the last few years the American government has been running secretive jails for detained illegal immigrants. These prisons are notorious for poor treatment in which injuries are not treated. Recent stories from the New York Times are beginning to show how much effort the government has gone into to cover up these secret prisons.

    The government will not tell the families of the deceased about their relatives until years down the road. They fight quality standards and shift blame to other groups. An example of the atrocities is the plight of an African man whose skull had cracked open and was left untreated for over 13 hours as he was laying there blacked out and slowly dying. The saddest part of all of this is that the officials in the prison let it happen. The Obama administration plans to clean up these detention centers that originated in the Bush administration. However, he is still not open to outside help and believes that they can police it himself and make their own ethical standards.
