  abstract: "Over three decades, migrants and asylum seekers have been detained at the privately-run Elizabeth Detention Center in New Jersey, under inhumane conditions. This volume unites the perspectives of formerly detained migrants, scholars, journalists, lawyers, and advocates who situate local struggles within the wider landscape of immigration detention in the US. The United States detains and deports several hundred thousand migrants every year. Many spend significant amounts of time in immigration detention as they await adjudication of their immigration cases. The Elizabeth Detention Center in New Jersey is located in a converted warehouse, managed by a private, for-profit prison company. Over three decades, migrants and asylum seekers have been brought to EDC directly from Newark Airport or have been transferred to the site from elsewhere in the United States, including from the US-Mexico border region. Through a longitudinal, site-specific study unique in its kind, this volume unites the voices and perspectives of formerly detained migrants, scholars, journalists, lawyers, and social and faith movement leaders, who share their experiences of Elizabeth Detention Center and reconstruct its social history, its location in New Jersey's political economy, and in the changing legal landscapes of immigration detention in the USA"-- Provided by publisher.
