- Four detainees at the Folkston ICE Processing Center released a video of about 5 minutes shot with the facility's video call software. In the video, they described detention lasting years through immigration court proceedings and conditions at the facility.
- Detainees said in the video that they earn about 1 dollars a day through work such as cooking, laundry, and cleaning, and use this money to buy food at the on-site commissary and stay in contact with people outside. The 1 dollar figure is a statement from one detainee in the video.
- Facility communication runs on GettingOut software from the Telmate family. The source reported that in 2021 fees for this company's products ranged from 18 cents to 1.10 dollars per minute, and added that in 2024 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) set a cap on detainee call rates of 11 to 25 cents per minute.
- The source quoted attorney Samantha Hamilton saying that people in the video were placed in isolation. It also reported that 45 people signed an open letter and about 73 were on hunger strike, and that the article labeled these figures as estimates.
The line that stays heaviest is that one 10-minute call inside the facility costs as much as 1 for a whole day. Looking at the rate figures in the original together with the year 2021 and the per-minute range from 18 to 1.10 gives a sense of how expensive a call from inside such a facility really is. However, the article itself does not clearly say how the video was recorded, so readers will have to weigh that part themselves.
