The stories relayed this week to Miami Herald reporters by the wives of detainees at Alligator Alcatraz painted a bad picture for the newly-opened and hastily-built immigration detention facility in the middle of the Everglades: toilets that didn't flush,

Some of the objections to the facility are that it's located in an alligator and snake-infested swamp. I've also read that some have complained about the Florida heat. Though any facility in Florida is subject to it being hot. It is Florida. Oh, and it's also air-conditioned.
