A Flight Risk At Age 5?
The news about the "family jail" for immigrants in Texas keeps rolling in. JOSH HARKINSON in Mother Jones:
"Inmate Faten Ibrahim was unlikely to escape. She lived at a compound built as a prison for Texas' worst criminals, within a double layer of razor wire. Her eight-by-eight-foot cell offered only a thin sliver of window, her toilet in an open corner left no cover for stashing break-out tools, and, at any rate, cracking the cell's thick steel door at night would have tripped an alarm. She certainly wasn't going to try bolting, especially since Ibrahim, who lived in the cell with her mother for three months, is five."
