In an NPR interview with Washington Post reporters, Dana Priest and Amy Goldstein, responsible for a four part series on the treatment of foreign detainees inside ICE detention facilities, the pair describe how medical care for those detained is decided based on manuals that tell staff what they cannot do rather on what they can do for ill inmates. But the star of the interview was a woman who called in to describe what she saw and heard when visiting her detained French fiancé. For example, she talks reveals that women inside were denied feminine hygiene products and were given rations of toilet paper and allowed to bleed on themselves.
