Summary
Recommendations -- Methodology -- Background -- Deaths in detention -- Deaths in 2017 and 2018 -- Lack of effective oversight leads to repeated deadly failures -- US and international legal standards -- Acknowledgments -- Appendix. Deaths in immigration detention March 2010-May 2018.
"A dozen people died in immigration detention in fiscal year 2017, more than any year since 2009. Code Red, a joint effort of four organizations that have long worked to advance the rights of detained immigrants, is the third report in three years showing that significant numbers of deaths in immigration detention are linked to dangerously inadequate medical care. Code Red examines 15 recent deaths in depth, scrutinizing the reports of government investigations known as Detainee Death Reviews of deaths in immigration detention that occurred between December 2015 and April 2017. At least two independent physicians with expertise in correctional health ... agreed that substandard medical care contributed or led to eight of the 15 deaths. ... Congress should immediately act to curtail the abuses. It should press ICE to decrease rather than expand detention; demand that all types of immigration detention facilities meet robust health, safety, and human rights standards; and exercise strong oversight through frequent information requests, hearings, and investigations."--Back cover.
