Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project (2026): "In May 2026, a man detained in Eloy named Mr. Contreras Perez sent the Florence Project a four-page letter he had written documenting various conditions issues inside Eloy, including medical issues, bad food, intimidation by guards, unhygienic conditions, and more. The document was signed by 112 other people from his housing unit. In the letter, Mr. Contreras-Perez noted that people in Eloy were locked in their cells for up to 18 hours a day, where they aren't allowed to use the phone or tablets, due to staffing shortages. Mr. Contreras-Perez also noted many issues with medical care in Eloy. He mentioned that people are denied medication, and sometimes people are not taken to off-site medical appointments due to staffing shortages. He also claimed that medical staff often encouraged detained individuals to buy things like vitamins and ointments from the commissary, instead of having medical staff prescribe those items or provide other necessary items for health. Many individuals have reported that the prices in the commissary are exceedingly high, and many people do not have the funds to buy these products from the commissary. He also noted that the air system is clogged and dirty, which causes coughs and infection, and that the tap water, which is the only free water available, causes stomach problems. Regarding food, Mr. Contreras-Perez wrote that the diet is not nutritious and is "appalling," and "consists of potatoes with more potatoes." Chicken is served only once a month. He reported that food was also sometimes served frozen or raw."
