On December 8th, 2012, people from Houston and Austin came to Livingston, TX to protest the Polk County Immigration Prison. This for-profit immigrant detention center is owned by the infamous Community Education Centers (CEC) and has been identified as one of the worst of the worst in the U.S.'s immigration detention system. As part of the national Expose and Close Campaign of the Detention Watch Network, organizers from Houston Unidos, Texans United for Families and Grassroots Leadership came together to call for the closure of this prison.
