Every year tens of thousands of asylum seekers and migrants arrive in Greece, one of the main entry points to Europe. Many of them have left unstable or war-torn countries such as Afghanistan and Iraq or are escaping persecution, human rights violations or extreme poverty. Once they arrive in Greece, irregular migrants and asylum seekers are systematically detained, often in overcrowded facilities. Sanitary conditions are usually very poor and health care is inadequate. Psychosocial support is lacking. Vulnerable groups, including unaccompanied minors and pregnant women, are also detained in degrading conditions.

And in some cases, the drugs are prescribed by contract doctors who have taken speaking fees and other gifts from drugmakers, according to The Palm Beach Post. As a result, the state’s Department of Juvenile Justice has ordered a review. “The questions recently brought to our attention are serious, and deserve answers based on a careful, thorough and independent review of the facts,” DJJ Secretary Wansley Walters tells the paper, which ran a two-part series about the problem (read here and here). The series raises familiar questions about the exte...

One would hope that those governing the prisons would be principled individuals; after all, inmates are in prison for committing a crime, and you’d think the guards would set an example. If that sounds a little too Hollywood, it is. According to a recent Mother Jones article, inmates at the Ohio Reformatory for Women who complained of abuse by guards were thrown into the hole (solitary confinement). As Just Detention International (formerly Stop Prisoner Rape) points out, the process of banishing prisoners to solitary confinement after reporting an incident discourages them from reporting abuse – and encoura...

We are again treated to the ridiculous argument that a terrorist attack is either an act of war or a criminal violation but never both. Senators McCain and Lieberman recently proposed a bill that mandates military detention for domestic terror suspects instead of civilian criminal justice proceedings — an approach that sidelines half of our domestic counterterrorism tools. The Enemy Belligerent, Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010 would use military detention to incapacitate suspected terrorists. Choosing military det...

In this article at National Review, McCarthy says that the risks associated with terrorism require a domestic preventive detention regime where investigators can go to a court with something less than probable cause and detain individuals without charge until they can gather the evidence for an indictment. This is a pretty bold proposition, given the fact that he lays out in this post on The Corner the power that investigators already have to detain material witnesses while gathering evidence. Not to mention the power to detain allegedly dangerous individuals picked up on relatively minor charges such as lying to federal agents, the current disposition of the NYC/Denver suspects. Then McCarthy comes full circle in this ...

In The Washington Post today, one of the proposal’s architects — Law Professor Robert Chesney, a member of Obama’s Detention Policy Task Force — showcased the trite and manipulative tactics that will be used by advocates of indefinite detention to win support for their radical program [anyone doubting that detention without trials is radical should recall that Obama's own White House counsel Greg Craig told Jane Mayer back in February that it's "hard to imagine Barack Obama as the first President of the United States to introduce ...

This is unnecessary executive unilateralism. As Benjamin Wittes and Jack Goldsmith point out in today’s Washington Post, this is a debate that ought to be held in Congress. This would not be a tough push for Obama. The Obama administration already amended its claim of authority in a filing with the District Court for the District of Columbia, the judicial body sorting through the detainees remaining at Gitmo. Convincing Congress to ratify this decision should not be hard; the differences between the Bush administration’s “enemy combatant” criteria and...
