In this week's New Yorker, Margaret Talbot looks at families living in the T. Don Hutto Residential Center in rural Texas and how private companies, like Hutto's Corrections Corporation of America, have taken over residential centers of immigrants seeking political asylum. Families, and young children, spend months in facilities with little outside oversight. (Even the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Human Rights of Migrants was denied access to the Hutto facility.)
