Immigrants for Sale: Profiting from Incarceration and Detention
Members of the Inland Empire Immigrant Youth Coalition will facilitate a student only workshop in which participants will learn the history of the largest detention center in the west coast, the notorious Adelanto Detention Center, grassroots advocacy and the regional campaign to #ShutDownAdelanto. They will also explore how criminal and immigration issues interrelate, and how “crim-imm” has impacted the immigrant community in the U.S.
The Inland Empire – Immigrant Youth Coalition (IE-IYC) is a grassroots undocumented youth-led organization founded in 2010. We are committed to creating a safe space for immigrant youth regardless of legal status, race, gender, sexuality, educational background and other intersections that are crucial to the undocumented identity.
