Essex County installed a tent, four portable restrooms at Delaney Hall’s visitor parking lot

Essex County installed a tent and four portable restrooms at Delaney Hall’s visitor parking lot in Newark. The installation comes after visitors and immigrant advocates reported standing in line outdoors for several hours because of delayed visitation hours and unclear visitation protocol. Delaney Hall is an immigrant detention center in Newark run by GEO Group, a private prison company. A lawsuit has been filed by Newark officials against GEO Group, claiming it is operating without proper permits or inspections.
