Words Beyond Walls: A Mother’s Love in Immigration Detention

While immigration detention is increasingly becoming a topic covered by mainstream media, the voices of those directly affected by detention often remain absent. In an effort to fill this void, Community Initiatives for Visiting Immigrants in Confinement (CIVIC) is launching a series of blog posts called “Words Beyond Walls.” In this series of posts, we will explore the reality of living in U.S. immigration detention centers through individuals who are in the best position to describe it. We hope to foster critical reflection about the values that inform the immigration detention system and our response to it.
