Demand The Shutdown of the Northwest Detention Center (NWDC) in Tacoma, Washington

The Issue

The Northwest Detention Center (NWDC) in Tacoma, Washington, is an institution marked by profound inhumanity and abuse. It ranks as one of the most brutal such facilities in the nation, with unacceptable levels of suicide attempts and an unfathomable number of solitary confinement cases. An ongoing hunger strike by detainees further underlines the dire need for immediate and decisive action. The NWDC remains a blight on the tenets of humanity, justice, and compassion that lie at the heart of civilized society. Its offenses are not only an affront to basic decency but also a clear contravention of human rights protections. We petition for the immediate decommissioning of the NWDC and urge all who read this to take a stand against its continued operation. Will you join us in this vital fight for justice? Please sign the petition.
