Systemic Torture and the Cover-Up at Alligator Alcatraz

On April 2, 2026, guards at Florida's Alligator Alcatraz cut off detainee phones for an entire day in direct violation of a federal court order. When detainees complained, guards beat them, broke a wrist, pepper sprayed 32 men in a cage, and caused an elderly man to pass out. This is what systemic torture looks like.
