At the largest US Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention camp, staff bet on detainee suicides

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

Owen Ramsingh, a legal permanent resident who spent several weeks at the Camp East Montana detention facility in Texas, told AP that he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool for which detainee would next die by suicide. The guard said he had paid $500 into the pot, which would all go to the winner with the most accurate predictions on detainees harming themselves.

DHS says he's lying. Sure.

The talk was particularly jarring, he said, because he had contemplated suicide himself.

Both articles are grim.
