There was a study done by the University of Arizona to tell us about the 300 women held at immigration detention centers in Arizona, and the problems they face such as the bad health care, and abusive mistreatment. This study was conducted from August 2007 to August 2008 by the Southwest Institute of Research on Women and the James E. Rogers College of law, which are both at the University of Arizona. The study was released on january 13th. Researchers in this study examined the conditions women went through in these detention centers. They are being held in these centers because they are in the process of deportation proceedings. There is estimated to be about 3,000 women being held in these centers nationwide. The study concluded that the people watching these women or the authorities were very aggressive towards the women when keeping them detained even though they rarely were at flight risk. The women experienced very bad hardships such as no care for them if they were pregnant, no treatment for cancer, or any other serious medical conditions. Also in some cases these women were put in jail with federal prisoners even though they do not belong there with criminals. Women are treated very badly in these centers and they are too weak to defend themselves most likely. Its horrible that they don't even get medical care. Even though they are technically not citizens they still shouldn't suffer because of us its cruel.
