- “He Didn’t Need to Die.” How an Immigration Detention Center Repeatedly Failed to Address a Mental Health Crisis.
Geraldo Lunas Campos, a 55-year-old Cuban immigrant with a history of mental illness, died by suicide at the East Camp Montana immigration detention center in El Paso, Texas, after repeated failures to address his mental health needs. Records show he complained multiple times about missed antipsychotic medication doses and was not transferred to a higher-level care facility despite staff acknowledging his crisis.
