At least a lawyer and housing segregated from non-immigration criminals. Some teens in America are real thugs, and some poor haitian kid trying to reach family and opportunity should be not locked up with a bunch of thugs. Just because they are teenagers does not make them neccessarily mature or make it appropriate they would be housed with non-immigration offenders.
We have laws on how to treat people who break the law, laws based on commonly agreed principles of what is a correct and fair way to determine if that particular somebody broke the law in the first place. We also have laws on how to treat people, ie. human and civil rights.
We should apply our laws in a consistent, fair, and logical fashion or we build a system that is like a castle made of sand instead of a rock-hard pillar of truth.

Prehaps we should have Muderer jails, rapist jails, armed robbery jails, extorsion jails, Drunk driving jails, J-walking jails, disorderly conduct jails, immigration jails etc. The fact is people are arrested for breaking the law and sent to jail, after they are brought in to the jail then if they need to be sent somewhere else they will be. But that might take some time, you know paperwork has to be filled out, and they sure as "pooping" aren't and shouldn't let the arrested have free rain of the jail until then, that would be utter foolishness and stupidity.
We do have laws abouttotreat the incarserated(sp?) and if amnemsty Int'l has any proof where the "HALE" is the investagtion? Where the "HALE" is AI's copy of the complant they filed with the authorities?
