The West Virginia Department of Corrections has acknowledged the issue, citing an urgent need for additional resources and support. Stakeholders emphasize the importance of addressing these systemic issues promptly to ensure humane treatment and compliance with legal standards. This revelation underscores the critical need for comprehensive reform in the detention and immigration processes nationwide.
