WASHINGTON, CMC –The United States says it will review cases in which Caribbean and other detainees are being held in solitary confinement in detention centers and jails around the country. Homeland Security Department Secretary Janet Napolitano has asked US federal immigration officials to provide her with more information about immigrants being held in solitary confinement at federal facilities. “I think solitary confinement should be the exception, not the rule,” she said stating that detainees are held in solitary for “a variety of reasons,” such as being disruptive and for their own protection.
