"This complaint, filed today in U.S. District Court, argues that some detainees have been imprisoned 'in tiny, windowless cells for over 23 hours a day ... Many class members have suffered physical and verbal abuse by their guards. Some were badly beaten.' Among other allegations: prisoners are subject to cavity searches, lights are kept on to prevent them from sleeping and they are only given two pieces of toilet paper per day."
