No prisoner should have to live in conditions that their jailers never would, especially if their only crime is having dark skin and an accent.

According to Wasserman Schultz, there were:

556 deemed "low risk"
229 deemed "medium-low risk"
195 considered "medium-high risk"
519 classified as "high risk"

What are these risk assessments based on? I'd say that the low risk people should not be in prison. No one should be in those conditions.
