Detainees Say Fire Alarms Blare Day and Night at Florence, Arizona ICE Facility

Two anonymous detainees at the CoreCivic-run Central Arizona Florence Correctional Complex say fire alarms with flashing lights have sounded day and night for at least two months, keeping them from sleeping. ICE and CoreCivic denied continuous activations, but the reporter heard the alarm live during an October 7 phone call; CoreCivic says a sprinkler-head upgrade is due in mid-November.
