A former “Alligator Alcatraz” worker says detainees are subject to “inhumane” conditions — packed by the hundreds into cages without sunlight, with overflowing toilets and limited access to showers.
In an exclusive report, NBC6 spoke with a former corrections officer who says she saw hundreds held in cages with no sunlight, backed up toilets and little access to showers.
Concentration camp
They'll start smuggling the bodies out in the middle of the night soon enough.
The ovens aren't going to be too far behind.
Alcatraz was a prison with due process, this is a fking concentration camp. Call it was it is NBC!!
We knew this is what it would be like. Everyone knew. And aside from the grotesque human rights violation perpetrated against every person there, this is a -massive- health risk to Florida. Hundreds of people packed with overflowing toilets and no mosquito nets? Bugs don’t stay in the camp
That’s how concentration camps generally operate.
This is it. This is what the states has become. This will define them for generations. And no amount of ‘coding error’ will erase this from history books. You’re either complicit or you fight. There is no in between.
Dearest NBC,
We have a non-cutesy, pre-existing and quite useful term for such a place.
If you have an editor ask 'em what "concentration camp" means.
If you don't maybe call your mom, 'cuz she failed you badly.
Concentration Camp is the correct name.
People of Florida would be outraged if DOGS were in those cages. But somehow it's okay for people? No.
And how much money did they spend on this state of the art facility?
Think they padded the cost and built cheap crap?😜
Y’all know you don’t have to call it that, right?
We are a cursed nation, we self inflicted a dark karmic imprint on our collective unconscious. Everything we do to extrapolate and dominate others adds violently to our psychopathy
Why exactly is it called aligator alcatraz? Shouldnt it be called the Everglades concentration camp?
This is going to be another black mark for the nation - added to such gems as the Japanese internment camps and smallpox infected blankets for Native Americans.
What if 100,000 of us just showed up there?
Call it what it is: a concentration camp
I have designed an 11x17” poster in protest of ICE. If you would like a printable file of it to print out and use at a protest, display in your window, or put on your wall, please message me. : )
How can people be so cruel? They will burn in hell!
Your country has concentration camps.
"Yet somehow our society must make it right and possible for old people not to fear the young or be deserted by them, for the test of a civilization is in the way that it cares for its helpless members."
It’s amazing so many people didn’t vote because, “Kamala is too mean”.
How’s that working out now that we have a fascist racist disappearing people - including legal citizens - with no due process while the media hides and fails to report it?
Will we get a chance to end this in another election?
Stop using the admin's cutesy language and tell people what this really is - a concentration camp. I did that today playing bridge and it made people sit up and truly consider what we are allowing to be done to fellow humans. Words matter so choose the ones that actually inform.
Tourism to the US is way down this summer. Wonder why?🤔
I hope that one day everyone who works there is put on trial.
So ashamed that this is my country & most US citizens don't give a damn this is happening. Horrible.
The more inhumane it is, the prouder the Trump administration is.
Stop fucking calling Alligator Alcatraz and call it the concentration camp that it is.
small point considering the other atrocities, but note that they didn't even pay this woman
Doesn’t this violate the Constitution’s prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment?
Shocking that the fascist concentration camp is rife with human rights abuses.
Don't worry--I'm sure they charged the government more than enough to properly house and pamper them. /s
The Trump regime is a criminal organization looting the government of our taxpayer dollars.
Private for-profit prisons have been a Republican mainstay for decades.
But this is even worse.
STOP USING THAT NAME!!
Send in Amnesty International, The International Federation for Human Rights, Human Rights Foundation, Human Rights Without Frontiers, Physicians for Human Rights, and the UN
More like Alligator Abu Ghraib
Really Awful
They only just opened one month ago and they already have “former” employees ?!
The cruelty is the point. People are being sent there to die.
📌 #pin
Sickening.
🚨
Are they concentrated inside that camp???
Is it worth the 30 pieces of silver?
A concentration camp
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time!
Concentration camps within the 1st 6 months. Is the Trump regime trying to win a race with Hitler's Nazi regime.
They're called concentration camps. All that's missing is the incinerator. In all other respects, the conditions are the same. They're not designed to incarcerate lawfully; they're designed to mete out cruel suffering with no accountability.
*Alligator Auschwitz
You need to start calling it what it is — alligator Auschwitz
What can we do about it? Here legally or not people deserve to be treated as people! And more of these are being built as was talk...
I didn't need any inside tip to assume that. Hint, that place was built in under a month by idiots. There must be a fairly easy way to get out.
Donald prefers "Alligator Auschwitz". His speech consecrating the site began thusly: "What we have here is failure to communicate..."
MAGA is a Terrorist Organization , ICE is a Secret Police Force Conducting Ethnic Cleansing ,
Trump is a Foreign Backed COUP Figurehead "Useful Idiot" .. This is not an Administration , This is a Regime , And the USA is "Occupied" .. The Cruelity is the Goal .... There is no "Law" any longer
This country has become one of the world’s great human rights violators. If it wasn’t already.
and yet they have $BILLIONS of our money....
It’s exactly how I imagined it and exactly how Trump and the Reeps want it to be. They think all non-white people should be treated like animals, or worse.
Caught the Covid, I forget about the health risks of Alligator Auschwitz's...
This hurricane 🌀 season will be interesting given where they built the thing
Alligator Auschwitz more like.
“They have no sunlight. There’s no clock in there. They don’t even know what time of the day it is. They have no access to showers. They shower every other day or every four days,” Lindsey said.
She added: “The bathrooms are backed up because you got so many people using them.”
This is genocide.
Maybe NBC “News” should call him out on this at every news pressers and not laugh w him while he mindlessly wanders o to a roof. Assclowns
It's a concentration camp in the Everglades on stolen Native land.
Ma'am, what the fuck did you think you were signing up for?
Don't worry, you'll be going on trial, too.
Hello, I am Ahmed from Gaza. Can I help buy some food for my family? Please donate some money to me. Link in Paiwa
Our reputation has been destroyed for years, something that has taken decades to build. Our reputation is what made us the richest country in the world because other countries viewed us as a safe place for business/trading partners/alliances. We will pay dearly for this in the coming years.
So they report...and report...and report again...but do? Absolutely nothing! My but America is a profoundly weak country.... Please! Please!!! world will someone not come and take this sorry third world country over and civilize it's spineless carcass??!!! Now is the time.
Can we call it Alligator Abu Ghraib?
I feel like Alcatraz doesn't cover it.
Well it is a fucking CONCENTRATION CAMP. Platforms like NBC using passive language like this to excuse fascism is half the reason we’re in this mess.
Hey NBC News, it’s “Alligator Auschwitz”, get it right please.
Stop calling it that stupid name
Love to get a job at a Nazi concentration camp then realize two days in that "oh, Nazi concentration camps are bad actually, I get it now"
We’ve become a third world country!! Uggghh
This is the fascist way to show that they consider these Latinos sub-human, to show their utter contempt for these human beings. I'm pretty sure the fucking asshole guards are the ones who KNOW they're contemptible so they have to treat others as less than themselves. SICK
Over 70 911 calls coming from inside internment camp AA already
Abu Ghraib 2025: Stateside
We have concentration camps in the United States of America.
We have concentration camps in the United States of America.
We have concentration camps in the United States of America.
We have concentration camps in the United States of America.
Where is the UN?
Bsky needs a bot to correct every instance of media parroting this asinine nickname. Alcatraz housed convicted criminals who had received due process. This is not an Alcatraz analogue. I’m partial to the more apt “Alligator Auschwitz” myself, but maybe just skip the flippant nicknames in journalism.
How many inmates did she infect with Covid…or did she get it from an inmate/s? Put a pin 📌 on it. There have been ambulances going in and out. Next, the body vans.
Spread the pedophile pictures... there are so many and all maga .
Trumps hero is Hitler and he has brought the Holocaust to America.
Stop using this cutesy nickname. It is a CONCENTRATION CAMP. Please put the NEWS back in NBC News.
All is normal. All is well, at least according to legacy media.
It’s not supposed to be a pleasant stay.
It was never going to work. It's all about the cruelty.
Now we have somewhere to put rich diddlers.
There’s already “former employees”?
ICE and trump are torturing people in the USA - right now.
Now the leaks…
This isn’t detention — it’s cruelty. No one deserves to be treated like animals.Packing people into cages with no sunlight or basic hygiene is a human rights violation plain and simple.We should be ashamed of these conditions. This is inhumane and unacceptable.
Disgusting! Violation of Human Rights! The GOP can burn in hell.
Didn’t take long. As I said before, it’s designed to floss and kill the victims.
Yeah, the days of the five star luxury hotel in Manhattan are over. There’s a new president in town. 💥👊
@NBCnews It's a concentration camp. Call it that. The reason no one is watching mainstream media news anymore is because you soft pedal everything the Republicans do. Your soft pedaled Trump's fascism and criminality and dementia leading up to the election and that's why he's president. FNBC
Concentration camps.
The real criminals are in the WH. The Constitutionally disqualified, illegitimate, corrupt, Russian asset, political thief, criminal felon and his cronies and enablers all need to go now! #MAGATerrorists #TrumpMustGoNow #PedoTrump #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles #StrongerTogether
How is this different from Hamas hostages?
auschwitz
alligator auschwitz
People are gonna talk
Gitmo comes to the mainland.
The White House has been taken over by Terrorists who are defying any and all court orders... They are led by Stephen Miller & Steve Bannon
We must arrest them and deport them to Russia.
You used her first name, put a photo of her, said where she worked, and then said the exact conditions she was fired. That’s not anonymity. The government is full of people who’ll willingly give anyone’s personal information to right-wing nutjobs. You need to be more careful.
This is shocking to no one… what is shocking is how little the legacy media cares… how little they report on it… how little they they ask about it at press conferences… they are obsolete… and out of touch…
So are going to report these facts widely?
Why is "inhumane" in quotes?
We shouldn’t be surprised at this. We should be enraged at the inhumane treatment.
No surprise there. You don’t open a private prison unless you’re planning to treat the prisoner inhumanely. Soon they’ll be building the ovens and gas chambers.
Are we all just going to wait for Trump's "Final Solution" or are we going to do something?
A former “Alligator Alcatraz” worker
It just opened a month ago! There are already former employees acting as whistleblowers!
The Democrats need to bring her before Congress immediately to testify and put her on the public record about what she saw.
Every day occurrence in our regular prisons and jails.
A) Why would anyone have applied to work there?
B) Why is she mad about being fired from a torture camp?
C) How can we put pressure on GardaWorld Federal Services to end their support of torture camps?
D) Fuck everything about this.
Those people need to be rescued and that facility burnt to the ground.
I would like to know who she voted for!!
We'll need an American version of the Nuremberg trials when this f**king administration is gone...
A concentration camp is inhumane?!? Who'd a thunk it?
Stop calling it that. Do better @nbcnews.com you have an obligation to call that hell hole what it is: a concentration camp
And WTF did she think she was signing up for?? Ignorant human’s will get us all killed.
Well we know it wasn’t morals or values being her reasons for not working there any longer. Call it what you will but it’s still a concentration camp.
Human Rights Watch report on abuse in Florida: www.hrw.org/news/2025/07...
The United States government has subjected immigrants detained in three Florida facilities to abusive, degrading, and in some cases life-threatening conditions, Americans for Immigrant Justice, Human ...
It’s not inhumane when you don’t consider the prisoners humans.
Sue the state again and again and again!
They used hundreds of millions of tax dollars to put up tents and chain-link fences! This is disgusting and disgraceful! We have murderers, rapists, and child molesters in prison that are treated better than these people who have not committed anything but a misdemeanor by being illegal!
The General strike -the people united shall never be stopped. If we strike together we can make true real change. Sign the strike card today.
Pope Leo should visit and call out the cruelty.
Is it weird that the former employee didn’t want her last name used, but still agreed to appear on camera? I can’t help but feel concerned for her safety.
Can the UN intervene?
No concentration camps in the U.S.!!!
“Former ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ worker?” So it was more cruelty than she signed on for?🤔
#ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them.
#DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it.
#Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them.
#PamBondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it. #FuckTrump #Resist #Felon47
In other words, we need more, larger, and better built deportation holding facilities. We also need more efficient exit processing.
Alligator Auschwitz
What a horrible stain on our country by the cruel people currently in government. I am furious that my tax $ are going to fund what is essentially a gulag. It is sad that so many Americans gleefully cheer atrocities against humanity. This cannot stand.
SHUT IT DOWN
You mean, "Homan Camps." "Millervilles" or "Noem IceBoxes." Brand them forever with their atrocities!!!!
and etsy is making money off of this bullshit
American taxpayers will be paying out billions in lawsuits for decades.
Have wondered if we'd see more former workers speaking out...or if anyone was going to send undercover folk in as employed staff yet. Seems like it would be the smart thing to do. 👀
Congress, these are violations of international humanitarian laws. We, the people of the United States of America, demand these concentration camps shut down immediately and those responsible arrested for human rights violations. @housedemocrats.bsky.social
@schumer.senate.gov where is your "leadership" here?
Concentration camps are being built and you are not even upset Chuck...
You better NEVER INVOKE the holocaust again!
BECAUSE YOU AINT NO JEW if you sit there doing JACK SHIT while while the camps are filling IN THE USA and GAZA STARVES!
“Former worker”?
Why did she apply for the job.
It's fine. It's got a really cute name the media loves repeating. How can anything that cute be an absolute fucking nightmare? It's Alligator Alcatraz! It's fun!
IT'S AN INTERNMENT CAMP. CALL IT WHAT IT IS.
📌
#AlligatorAuschwitz
But the American media told me that Trump deserve the noble prize.
Disturbing and tragic.
Choosing to work there exposes the character of the worker.
Oh this is Miller’s supremest dessert….CRUELTY🖕🖕🖕🖕
When do we march the locals through it like they did in post-war Germany, so they can see what they’re allowing to happen?
So it’s run like every other US prison. Cool. Good work, assholes.
And she’s surprised and astonished? She thought it would be a chill gig?
If only there words for when you concentrate civilians into a camp!
Oh well, I guess the alligator name will do for now.
We need video so everybody in America can see it. Also documentation that these are innocent people whose only crime is being brown.
Former employee already? It’s gotta be bad there
Call it what it fucking is.
📌
In history books, these concentration camps will be written about, but will we ever learn? This is not the first time for the “land of the free, home of the brave.” “Liberty and Justice for all?” Give me a break!
And no one stops the human rights abuse in the USA 💔
While a convicted pedophile is moved to a cushy comfy fed prison 🤦🏼♀️
Most who support Alligator Alcatraz become the bait, including Law Enforcement.
Yo media bitches, want to be relevant again? Call it what it is: A Concentration Camp.
The ovens and gas chambers are coming. It's only a matter of time.
#EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles, #EpsteinFiles!!
Where are the lawsuits...what is the status ???
so it's working as intended then!
They were on a hunger strike for 10 days and you all never even reported it.
Alligator Auschwitz. Stop using the term the regime wants you to use.
ALLIGATOR AUSCHWITZ. Yes, I’m going to keep calling it that. Yes, they are actual concentration camps. And they’re killing people just as surely as French women were made to stand out in the freezing cold until they dropped dead, for crimes like “writing that she didn’t like Nazis” in Auschwitz.
People that work for ICE or at these concentration camps and stay after even one day of seeing the conditions of the mostly innocent prisoners makes you an evil motherfucker and there ain’t no way around that, you’re a piece of shit!
Innocent brown Americans get this, but child sex traffickers like Maxwell get illegally moved from max security to luxurious min security Club Fed.
GOP is the party of child rape.
Will you finally stop treating the GOP that fully supports these concentration camps as if they’re normal politicians? Or will you revert to both-sides bullshit as usual?
That was exactly the intention. It is a fascist concentration camp! Wake up!
Calling the facility "Alligator Alcatraz" and posting signs with that name is the same performative schtick that Sheriff Joke Arpaio used in Maricopa County, except it was pink underwear, green bologna, chain gangs and Tent City. We're moving backwards.
And it’s new, just opened. This is why other fascists came up with a final solution to a problem. We need to know exactly what is going on in there, and we need to help those people.
Also, Trump is trying to hide his presence in the Epstein files. He is a pedophile and rapist. No one should forget this.
They built it in a couple weeks. In a wild swamp. There won't be a septic system. Imagine what it will be like in a year with no sewage disposal?
Such a sh.thole country, cannot believe this is being tolerated
I’m sorry but anyone who would work for these fuckers terrorizing and kidnapping people is an absolute fuckwit and a disgraceful human. Pound sand🖕🏼🤬
But, don't these conditions also make it difficult and dangerous for the workers?
People are talking, but Corporate media, isn't listening, and doesn't care
Aligator Auschwitz.
So all going exactly as planned?
Don’t like it? Then don’t break our laws and come here illegally! Till then, back to Mexico you go!
The bulk of that money is being funneled by the Trump administration.
Human rights violations by our countries leaders should be considered treason
Duh
This is outrageous!!! All must be punished by an international tribunal for basic human rights violations!!!
You know how lots of Germans felt after the war, when they were forced to face the horrors of the death camps?
Americans are going to experience that.
Florida
The Auschwitz State
🤔are y’all proud, of how you’ve spent the last 10 years sane washing this weasel and his fucking cult?How’s that orange jizz taste now? How’s it feel to be complicit in torture and abuse being perpetrated by this facsist regime? 🤦🏻♀️🖕🏻
