The infernal conditions are described in a report issued Tuesday by the Department of Homeland Security’s office of inspector general, which audited the facility, overseen by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in Adelanto, Calif. It has a capacity of 1,940 detainees and is run by GEO Group, which owns and operates 71 federal prisons and detention centers with a combined total of 75,500 beds, according to its website.
GEO declined to comment and referred inquiries to ICE.

Where I live, this is the normal conditions of any prison. Actually a prison like this is considered a 5 stars arrest camp.
Trump is friends with lots of dictators (like MBS and Putin), a torture enthusiast also, so no wonder some American prisons look like this.
Even before him, the U.S had some very terrible prisons like the infamous Abu-Ghuraib in Iraq, but I'm sure and certain that this will only increase more and more in Trump's time.
