Because the PCMEO has handled approximately 90% of all of the UBC recovered bodies in the U.S. Border Patrol’s Tucson Sector, an analysis of such deaths serves as both an accurate reflection of the major characteristics of all known UBC deaths that have occurred in this sector, as well as an exact, previously unavailable portrayal of the UBC bodies that have been handled by the overburdened PCMEO since 1990. BMI has also created a comprehensive and reliable set of criteria that can be used to better count and describe known UBC deaths throughout the entire U.S. A reliable analysis of known UBC deaths in the Tucson Sector is important for many reasons, but especially because, according to all available figures produced by the U.S. government and the academic community, a comparison of the totals of such deaths for each of the 9 Border Patrol sectors along the US/Mexico border, shows that the Tucson Sector in southern Arizona has been the site of the vast majority of known UBC deaths, or to use a more accurate phrase, UBC recovered bodies, in the new millennium. The results of the BMI study, which are confirmed by comparable research, show that there has been an exponential increase in the number of UBC recovered bodies handled by the PCMEO from 1990 to 2005, thereby creating a major public health and humanitarian crisis in the deserts of Arizona.

Author: Medical Justice Title: Death in immigration detention: 2000-2015 Summary: t least 35 people lost their lives in detention between 2000 and 2015. Death from natural causes and illness are part of life. However, locking people up in detention centres without meaningful judicial oversight is unnecessary and by avoiding this practice we could avoid the majority of deaths inside detention. Some of the deaths resulted from catastrophic failures, all of them avoidable. Each death in detention is an avoidable tragedy. No one should have to die whilst detained indefinitely, isolated from their community and fearing deportation to a country they have fled in fear. Investigations into deaths in detention provide a window into otherwise closed institutions and highlight the ultimate impact of a system that fails to properly protect vulnerable detainees. In about half of the investigations into deaths in detention, the Prison and Probation Ombudsman ( PPO) directly criticised healthcare provisions with many of the same systemic failures repeated year after year across a range of facilities. In 2 cases, the PPO found that neglect contributed, and for others they found that had the care been better, the death might well have been avoided. Immigration Detention is expensive, ineffective and unjust. It should be abandoned so no further deaths take place in immigration detention Details: London: Medical Justice, 2016. 52p.
