Synopsis

Something at the Texas detention facility is terribly wrong, but the guards are repeatedly told not to speak of anything they witness. Due to job shortages, the guards follow orders. For six years, Tony Hefner was a security guard at the Port Isabel Service Processing Center, one of the largest immigration detention centres in America. While there, he witnessed alarming corruption and violations of human rights. Officers preyed on the very people who they were sworn to protect. This is the story of the systematic sexual, physical and financial abuses of detainees by guards.
