BETWEEN THE FENCES: BEFORE GUANTANAMO, THERE WAS THE PORT ISABEL SERVICE PROCESSING CENTER

Book ID/图书代码： 09B34153

English Summary/英文概要： Something at the Texas detention facility is terribly wrong, and Tony Hefner knows it. But the guards are repeatedly instructed not to speak of anything they witness. In the Rio Grande Valley, one of the most poverty-stricken areas in the United States, good jobs are scarce and the detention facility pays the best wages for a hundred miles. The guards follow orders and keep quiet.

For six years, Tony Hefner was a security guard at the Port Isabel Service Processing Center, one of the largest immigration detention centers in America, and witnessed alarming corruption and violations of basic human rights. Officers preyed upon the very people whom they are sworn to protect. On behalf of the 1,100 men, women, and children residing there on an average day, and the 1,500 new undocumented immigrants who pass through its walls every month, this is the story of the systematic sexual, physical, financial, and drug-related abuses of detainees by guards. The Port Isabel Service Processing Center continues to hold detainees of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement whose immigration statuses or citizenship have not been officially determined or who are awaiting repatriation. On April 22, 2009, detainees there began a hunger strike, alleging violations of due process, inadequate access to medical care and legal resources, and various other abuses.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 人權主義者揭開美國拘留所驚人的腐敗行徑
《真相背後的冷酷異境》

「關塔那摩」Guantanamo是什麼地方？那是位於古巴的監獄所在地。那是一所慘無人道、極盡虐待之能事、專門用來囚禁並審訊那些「九一一事件」之後，從阿富汗任意補捉犯人的監獄。
「關塔那摩」是古巴東南部的一個省，省會關塔那摩市。關塔那摩灣（西班牙語：Bahía de Guantánamo；英語：Guantanamo Bay）位於該市市區以南20公里處灣長約19公里，寬約9公里。灣中的美國海軍基地占地116平方公里，灣北有山脈屏障，是個經常風平浪靜的大海灣。由於靠近連接大西洋和加勒比海的「向風水道」，戰略位置十分重要。但在此地，罪惡卻在悄悄蔓延。
Tony Hefner在此美國最大的移民拘留所之一，目睹了無數驚人的腐敗行徑，以及他們對基本人權的侵犯。這些官員所踐踏的，都是那些他們曾宣誓要保護的人。平均每天有1100名男女以及兒童在此拘留，平均每月有1500名非法移民出入此地，這便是一個有關執法人員通過對在押人員的濫用職權，涉及性，肉體，金錢，以及毒品的故事。
現在，此地仍滯留著大批被拘的美國移民、移民狀態和國籍尚未確定、以及等待被遣送回國的人們。2009年4月22日，被拘者們開展了大規模絕食行動，抗議這些濫用職權的違法行為。 (Ruby & Chris)
