CYBELE MAYES-OSTERMAN 芝加哥 —— 三名被关押在印第安纳州一处被称为“斯皮德韦大牢”的移民设施中的人士称，被拘留者在单独监禁中挨过数周，被拒绝提供基本医疗救治，并遭到设施官员的虐待和种族辱骂。
CYBELE MAYES-OSTERMAN CHICAGO — Three people detained at an Indiana immigration facility known as the “Speedway Slammer” say detainees languish in solitary confinement for weeks, are denied essential medical treatment and are subjected to abuse and racial slurs by facility officials.
根据美联社获得的副本，这三名被拘留者周四在联邦法院提起的诉讼中指控，位于印第安纳州邦克希尔的迈阿密拘留中心条件不人道，官员的疏忽造成了“危险的医疗危机”。美国公民自由联盟在印第安纳州北区联邦法院提起了该诉讼。
The detainees alleged in a lawsuit filed Thursday that conditions at the Miami Detention Center in Bunker Hill, Indiana, are inhumane, and officials’ neglect has created a “dangerous medical crisis,” according to a copy obtained by The Associated Press. The American Civil Liberties Union filed the lawsuit in federal court in the Northern District of Indiana.
美联社此前曾报道全美移民拘留设施存在医疗疏忽、危险环境和侵犯人权的情况。根据移民政策研究所的数据，本财年已有至少 37 人死于美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）羁押期间，创下该机构历史新高。
The AP has previously reported on medical neglect , dangerous conditions and human rights abuses at immigration detention facilities across the country. At least 37 people have died in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody this fiscal year, the most in the agency’s history, according to the Migration Policy Institute .
今年已有两人在该印第安纳设施死亡 —— 55 岁越南籍男子 Tuan Van Bui 和 59 岁柬埔寨籍男子 Lorth Sim。Sim 的儿子于 8 月起诉 ICE，称其隐瞒了关于他父亲死亡的信息。
Two people have died at the Indiana facility this year — Tuan Van Bui, a 55-year-old Vietnamese man, and Lorth Sim, a 59-year-old Cambodian man. Sim’s son sued ICE in August saying it withheld information about his father’s death.
迈阿密拘留中心位于印第安纳波利斯以北约 60 英里（100 公里）处，原为一座最高戒备监狱，特朗普政府去年将其改建为移民拘留设施。作为监狱时，它就有不人道条件、暴力事件和囚犯死亡的记录。国土安全部未立即就诉讼中的指控置评请求作出回应。
The Miami Detention Center, around 60 miles (100 kilometers) north of Indianapolis, was a maximum security prison before the Trump administration converted it into an immigration detention facility last year. As a prison, it had a record of inhumane conditions , violence and inmate deaths . The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately return a request for comment on the allegations in the lawsuit.
根据起诉书，诉讼中的三名被拘留者从未在美国被判犯罪。尽管特朗普政府称其移民打击重点针对有犯罪记录的移民，但近期数据显示，大多数被捕者无犯罪定罪记录。
None of the three detainees in the lawsuit have ever been convicted of a crime in the U.S., according to the complaint. While the Trump administration has said its immigration crackdown is focused on immigrants with criminal records, recent data shows most of those arrested have no criminal convictions.
原告称，官方拒绝为患有严重病症的被拘留者提供医疗救治，导致部分人陷入极度痛苦和危机之中。
The plaintiffs say officials deny detainees medical treatment for severe conditions, leaving some in agony and crisis.
根据其律师的说法，危地马拉公民辛西娅·阿塞韦多于7月被美国移民与海关执法局（ICE）逮捕，在该设施的警官将她换用一种治疗癫痫效果较差的药物一周后，她遭受了多次癫痫发作，且官方经常未能定期给她服药。她还指控，抵达该设施后不久即遭性侵，官方却拖延数天才受理报案，且从未为她提供强奸取证工具包、艾滋病毒检测或相关药物。
Cynthia Acevedo, a Guatemalan national arrested by ICE in July, suffered from multiple seizures a week after officers at the facility switched her to a medication less effective at treating her epilepsy, and officials often failed to give it to her regularly, according to her attorneys. She also alleges she was sexually assaulted soon after arriving at the facility, and that officials waited days to take her report and never provided her with a rape kit, HIV test or medication.
根据起诉书，一名因腿部伤口发炎而几乎无法行走的男子，尽管多次请求帮助，也未得到任何照料。
A man who could barely walk due to inflamed leg wounds also received no care despite multiple requests for help, according to the complaint.
律师在起诉书中写道，该设施官员对被拘留者使用“虐待性惩罚手段”以及“近乎酷刑的过度武力”。他们补充说，州政府工作人员向被拘留者辱骂种族歧视语言，并让他们“回自己的国家去”，还称他们为“瘟疫”。
Officials at the facility use “abusive forms of punishment” on detainees and “excessive force bordering on torture,” attorneys wrote in the complaint. State staff direct racial slurs at detainees, and have told them to go back to their country and referred to them as a “plague,” they added.
根据起诉书，乌克兰裔男子谢尔盖·瓦谢宁已在该设施被拘留一年多，曾被关进单独监禁室约九周。其律师写道，他“每天要在一个狭小、冰冷的牢房里度过多达23至24小时”。律师补充说，瓦谢宁通过自言自语来“保持理智”，并曾多次产生自杀念头。
Sergei Vasenin, a Ukrainian-born man who has been detained in the facility for more than a year, was once thrown in solitary confinement for around nine weeks, according to the complaint. He “spent up to 23 to 24 hours per day in a tiny, frigid cell,” his lawyers wrote. Vasenin talked out loud to himself “to stay sane” and contemplated suicide multiple times, they added.
起诉书称，最近有一名男子在其他被拘留者“恳求”警官帮助他数日后仍未获援助，遂尝试自杀。警官非但没有移除牢房内的一根电缆，反而将他关进牢房，该男子随后利用这根电缆上吊自杀。
Recently, one man attempted suicide after other detainees “begged” officers to help him for days, the complaint said. Officers instead locked him in a cell and failed to remove a cable that he then used to hang himself.
根据起诉书附带的描述和图片，被拘留者被关押在“比普通停车位还小”的牢房内，仅有一个狭窄的窗缝。单独监禁室极其寒冷，以至于有人往通风口塞卫生纸试图阻挡刺骨冷气。起诉书称，被拘留者“每隔几天”才被允许出去淋浴一次。
Detainees are held in cells “smaller than an average parking space” with one small window slit, according to a description and image included in the complaint. Solitary confinement cells are so cold that some people stuff toilet paper in the vents to try to staunch the frigid air. Detainees are allowed to leave to shower “every few days,” the complaint said.
诉讼中的第三位原告凯莫耶·马斯拉指称，他的牢房被污水淹没了三天，这三天里他一直在设法避免“滑倒跌进人类排泄物中”，他的律师写道。律师称，工作人员佩戴口罩以阻隔地面和堵塞马桶中血液与粪便的气味。
Kemoye Muslar, the third plaintiff in the lawsuit, alleged his cell flooded with sewage water for three days, which he spent trying not to “slip and fall into human waste,” his attorneys wrote. They said that staff wear masks to keep out the smell of blood and feces on the floor and clogged toilets.
