NextImg:Alligator Alcatraz Detainee Reports Getting One Meal a Day Filled With Maggots

So, the Yelp! reviews are coming out of Florida's Alligator Alcatraz, and they're not good, according to CBS News. As our own Warren Squire reported on Tuesday, an illegal detainee complained to a local news affiliate that "the mosquitoes are the size of elephants" and "the tents are freezing." It's 92 degrees in the Everglades, and the illegal aliens are complaining about the air conditioning.

Now, more detainees are speaking out about the inhumane conditions at Alligator Alcatraz.

Tell us about the maggots in the food. CBS News Miami didn't tour the detention facility but did talk to some detainees over the phone.

"I am Leamsy La Figura. We've been here at Alcatraz since Friday. There's over 400 people here. There's no water to take a bath, it's been four days since I've taken a bath," he said." 

He claimed the food at the immigration facility is scarce and unsanitary.

"They only brought a meal once a day and it had maggots."

A third detainee, who said he is Colombian, described deteriorating mental health and lack of access to necessary medical care.

"I'm on the edge of losing my mind. I've gone three days without taking my medicine," he said. "It's impossible to sleep with this white light that's on all day."

He also claimed his Bible was confiscated.

"They took the Bible I had and they said here there is no right to religion. And my Bible is the one thing that keeps my faith, and now I'm losing my faith," he said.
