Detained immigrants share their harrowing accounts of life inside a US detention facility during the pandemic.

But officials who run the detention centre are intent on keeping these men and women silent.

Filmed using cameras attached to tablets installed inside the detention centre cell blocks, this is a real-time chronicle of life in an immigration facility.
