Immigrant family detention has been made infamous at the Hutto detention center, a private prison operated by Corrections Corporation of America which incarcerates 130 children from birth to age 17 along with their parents.
To commemorate International Women’s Day, Grassroots Leadership and other groups from Texas will join the University of Houston Students for a Democratic Society to take a stand against incarcerating families at Hutto.
Join the “Vigil to Free the Families” at the T. Don Hutto detention center this Saturday, March 7th, 2009, from 11am-1pm.
