Migrant children share stories about life at detention facilities on the southern border
Rocky Mountain PBS
May 25, 2021
ROCKY MOUNTAIN PBS: Warren Binford, JD, Ed.M, is the W.H. Lea Endowed Chair for Justice in Pediatric Law, Ethics and Policy at the CU School of Medicine. She is also a writer and attorney, and recently united with 17 Latinx illustrators to create a book titled “Hear My Voice/Escucha Mi Voz.”
"When my team and I first went public about the detention camp conditions back in June of 2019, it was then we discovered 350 children that were being kept in a warehouse in a desert in Texas. Other children were kept in a loading dock at a border patrol station, in overcrowded detention cells that were wholly inappropriate for children," Binford explained. "Children had to sleep on concrete floors. Sometimes babies and small children were being put on the chest of other children to protect them from the cold." View film>>
