Don Hutto Residential Center in Texas , used to house immigrants being considered for deportation or asylum and their children. Yesterday Federal Judge Sam Sparks, while acknowledging that Hutto wasn’t the best place for immigrant families, it was what it was and at the very least could be improved. The changes ordered ranged from the simple installation of privacy curtains in bathrooms to giving school age children 5 hours of schooling a day (up from one).
