N.J. inspectors find health violations in Delaney Hall, according to report

From Gothamist.

New Jersey health inspectors found poor employee hygiene, unclean surfaces, and food stored at unsafe temperatures at Delaney Hall, a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement concentration camp in Newark. The inspection comes from a May 28 report issued by the state department of health. Health inspectors visited Delaney Hall on May 27 to inspect the entire facility, but was denied entry to living quarters, medical areas, and the HVAC system. Health inspectors also found staff handling garbage cans during food service and cases of soda stored alongside chemicals. On Jun. 2, Gov. Mikie Sherrill sued GEO Group, the private prison company operating Delaney Hall, in attempt to gain full access to the site.
