MIAMI — Haitian and Dark prisoners at the Broward Temporary Center who said they were attacked and dwarfed by Dominicans are still in secure, almost seven days after the skirmish broke out.
The Haitian prisoners say they can’t visit the yard or cafeteria in the Pompano Ocean side office since jail authorities denied such developments for their wellbeing.
“We were dealt with like the culprits,” Jeffery Bien Aime added. “We were placed in defensive care while they were permitted to walk the yard.”
Confinement Center and U.S. Migration and Customs Authorization authorities didn’t return email messages looking for input.
Marc Rene, 52, said there were around 30 Dark prisoners at the Pompano Ocean side, Fla., office — 22 Haitians, four Jamaicans, two from the Bahamas and one from Trinidad — last week. Hundreds more are from different Spanish-talking nations.
Two battles occurred on Apr. 17 and 18. The principal battle last Monday began when an official attempted to cuff a Dominican prisoner for terrible way of behaving. A punch was tossed, and others bounced in.
Some way or another, the battle betrayed Haitians, Rene and two different prisoners told their family and legal advisor. The Spanish-talking prisoners, a large portion of them Dominicans, shouting slurs and dangers focusing on the Haitians.
Monitors called for reinforcement, and policing, riflemen among them.
On Tuesday, strains additionally lead to another battle.
Bien-Aime, who has been living in the U.S for quite some time, said a Dominican swung a lock inside a container at his right eye, cracking his cerebrum. At the point when medical caretakers attempted to call an emergency vehicle, managers held off endorsing. He was ultimately taken to Broward Wellbeing.
“We are continually dwarfed, our necessities are continually overlooked, we will generally continually be casualties of slurs,” Bien-Aime said. “We continually get called overly critical terms, they offer expressions about how they need to kill us, we get dangers, and we fundamentally need to live with it.”
Jetta Submerse, the mother of one prisoner, informed The Haitian Times about the occurrence last week. She said her child, who had been confined over his movement status, went to court on April 11 and was set for bail. She was all the while hanging tight for his delivery as of Tuesday.
“What’s significant is safeguarding these individuals from the circumstance that they’re in and safeguarding them,” Baptiste said.
