Report Description
During our limited-scope, unannounced inspection of Mesa Verde ICE Processing Center (Mesa Verde) in Bakersfield, California, we found that the facility complied with standards for the voluntary work program, facility conditions, and grievances. However, the facility did not accurately report or fully record an event that met the requirements of a use of force incident. Mesa Verde complied with most standards for medical care, including providing care to detainees on hunger strike, but experienced challenges finding available community optometrists, which caused delays in advanced optometry care.
