5 min read

The man on the jailhouse video call sounds exhausted and disoriented. He has just been booked into the King County Jail in 2018, and he is trying to explain to someone on the other end—likely a corrections officer or a legal visitor—how he got there. He says he worked in the jail for two months himself, so he knows the environment. He is tired from traveling from Mexico, and he feels the system has not treated him fairly. He asks about his children: two girls and a boy. He is told they are safe, that Child Protective Services is looking into placing them with family like a grandmother. He wants them to be comfortable, not traumatized. He is told that information about their location will not be shared with him.
