Visiting Those in Detention

VIDA:  Volunteers for Immigrants in Detention - Albuquerque has been visiting with immigrants at Cibola County Correctional Center since 2018.  We started visiting immigrants at Torrance County Detention Facility in the fall of 2019, soon after it opened.  Since the summer of 2022, we have made over 30 visits to the two facilities.  We visit each facility once a month - Cibola on Saturdays and Torrance on Sundays.   These visits are essential to our missions of ending isolation for those in immigrant detention and documenting the human rights abuses that they experience.
