The remote facility in the Florida Everglades is expected to cost the state about $450 million annually to operate.

The Miami Herald has published a list of detainees being held at Alligator Alcatraz, Florida’s makeshift immigration detention center in the Everglades, and found that many have no criminal convictions or pending criminal charges.

Without permanent structures, electricity or running water, logistical headaches have emerged at “Alligator Alcatraz.”

Dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” the massive tent detention complex built deep in the Florida Everglades can hold 3,000 and could be the template for other facilities in other states.

Prisoners at Florida's newly opened immigrant detention center in the Everglades are suffering in squalid conditions and are cut off from legal access, according to attorneys, detainees, family members, and lawmakers.

Hundreds of immigrants with no criminal charges in the United States are being held at Alligator Alcatraz, a detention facility state and federal officials have characterized as a place where “vicious” and “deranged psychopaths” are sent before they get deported, records obtained by the Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times show.
