Three people have died inside Delaney Hall, an immigration detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, and their deaths have drawn a stark line between institutional assurance and human testimony. The facility, which holds immigrants awaiting deportation proceedings, now faces scrutiny over whether the medical care it provides is adequate — or merely declared to be. In the long arc of how societies treat those held in their custody, this moment asks an old and unresolved question: who is responsible for the lives of people who cannot leave?
