[/quote] It's simple, mistreatment and lack of compassion, enough to let someone die and rot in a cell, it's abuse of a man's human rights. [quote] [b]WebShaman said:[/b] No, not just because his Visa had lapsed, but because he was notified that his application had been denied and that he wrongfully decided to stay anyway.This shows intent, IMHO. Intent to violate the law. If left to his own devices, he was intent upon staying illegally in the US.In that case, I can certainly understand why he was then put into immigration detention (because all polite and considerable attempts to send him on his way had failed).WebShaman \| The keenest sorrow (and greatest truth) is to recognize ourselves as the sole cause of all our adversities. - Sophocles [/quote] His application for political asylum had been denied, but he had a work visa, eventually when he was to to attend an immigration court the appointment was sent to the wrong address! It was an admin error on the immigration departments behalf that meant this man ended up in jail, not his abuse of the system, he was trying to go through the system. Besides I think you're skirting around the issue, it matters not how he ended up there, it's the treatment that's the issue.
