Listening to Democracy Now! Audio (Physician Who Cares for Torture Survivors: How U.S. Detains Refugee Women and Children is a Disgrace)

We continue our conversation with Dr. Allen Keller, an expert in the evaluation and treatment of detained immigrants and asylum seekers, who was disturbed by what he saw when he visited the Berks County Residential Center in August where women and children are on hunger strike to protest their prolonged detention. We are also joined by Bridget Cambria, who represents many of the women held at Berks.
