FOX Hill Prison is the Bahamas’ main correctional facility, where individuals convicted of migration‑related offenses are held. Independent assessments have repeatedly documented overcrowding, inadequate sanitation, and harsh living conditions, including cells infested with insects, limited access to toilets, and prisoners forced to remove human waste in buckets.
