Immigrants to be Housed in 'Suites' Near San Antonio
KARNES CITY - Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Friday will open a refurbished detention center three hours north of the Rio Grande Valley.
The Karnes City center will house women and children who entered the country illegally through the Valley.
The 532-bed facility underwent a massive renovation to house women and children. The center housed only adult immigrants in the past.
Immigrants will be at the facility for an average of 23 days.
The feds said the immigrants will be referred to as "residents" and the rooms as "suites." The suites are furnished with flat-screen television sets and landline telephones. The center has a soccer field covered with artificial turf, ping pong tables and a weight room.
A charter school nearby will provide schooling and access to a library for the immigrant children.

The facility is a refurbished detention facility. The rooms are CALLED suites.
Would it be better to have the women and children housed in 8x12 jail cells with a single hanging light bulb?
I doubt if any of the people on this forum would choose to stay in a refurbished detention center for 23 days.
