…the OIG reported on September 11 that staff at the facility, which was operated by the state of Florida and private contractors, “confined 79 detainees in small metal enclosures—each offering about 18 square feet of floor space—for periods ranging from several minutes to nearly two hours.”

“Facility staff described the small metal enclosures as ‘calming areas’ for detainees to de-escalate and have time alone,” the report states. “Staff further maintained that detainees asked to spend time in the small metal enclosures. We found at least one instance in which the small metal enclosures may have been used as a disciplinary tool.”

While held in the cages, detainees—who reported being shackled and locked to the ground—were subjected to dangerously high temperatures and swarms of mosquitoes.

When it comes to policy, El-Sayed said, “I don’t think the government gets to have a say about what healthcare is provided in what circumstances and why. And to me, that is the standard on which we decide how we make healthcare decisions, not what the government says you can or can’t do.”

El-Sayed also argued medical autonomy can be seen as a bipartisan issue.

“Even conservatives agree; they just don’t agree when it comes to trans care and reproductive rights,” he said. “Conservatives fought for a very long time for this legislation called ‘Right to Try’ legislation, which was the idea that the government couldn’t tell you [that] you couldn’t have a certain medication if it was available to you. So they agree that the decision about healthcare ought to be between a person and their provider.”
