This photograph shows a little immigrant girl locked up in a prison. The little girl is hopelessly looking out of her cell with her arms folded around the cell bars. The cell is built of cement and hanging from the ceiling are clothes. The antique effect of the picture gives you the sense of loneliness and sadness.
This picture implies that children, who are normally too young and innocent to go to jail, are being placed in detention center. The conditions of the jail cell displayed in the photograph
This picture helps support my argument against poor conditions of detention centers because it appeals to parents with young children. This picture allows parents to open their minds so that they can understand the effects that poorly managed centers have on families.
People think that illegal immigrants are grown adults and do not understand that they can also be children. It seems like society is un-phased with that fact that adult immigrant are being held in bad conditioned cells, but how does society feel about kids in this situation. Believe it or not, there are 7,211 cases of children that have entered in the United States illegally by themselves.
Can you imagine your child in a detention center with no way of getting in contact with you? The fear of losing you child and never knowing when you will see them again can bring a great amount of depression and stress to your life. No one wants their child trapped behind bars with fading hope of freedom and a new life.
