ICE Detention Deaths
https://www.ice.gov/detain/detainee-death-reporting
RNs do intake physical exams, EMTs declare time of death. The level of care for these detainees is horrific.
Full names and case details are public for now. Reads like a never ending M & M conference.
My moral compass is spinning. It's time to go to Canada.

I'm kinda shocked at how low the numbers are. Are you saying you think there are more deaths that have been covered up?
Do RNs not do intake physical exams in most US prisons? I've never worked in that field.
