Winn Correctional Center is in the news due to a DHS watchdog report flagging abuse and harsh conditions at ICE detention centers, including incidents like a chokehold and a pen stabbing. WCC is a state men's prison in Winn Parish, Louisiana.
A Department of Homeland Security inspector general report has found that Winn Correctional Center staff violated use-of-force policies, failed to document incidents, and did not ensure adequate training or disciplinary action. The findings come as protests and lawsuits highlight concerns about conditions at ICE facilities nationwide.
