Sanitation, use-of-force transparency lacking at Winnfield ICE facility, inspection finds

A 2025 inspection of Louisiana's Winn Correctional Center, operated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), found failures in sanitation, food storage, medical record-keeping, and transparency around use-of-force incidents. Federal inspectors reviewed cases where staff used a chokehold and punctured a detainee's skin with a pen, with incomplete video documentation and no clear process for tracking staff training or disciplinary actions.
