They Are Freezing Detainees to Death in Texas. Act Now.

Detainees report freezing conditions inside the facility while staff refuse to turn on the heat. This is a life-threatening failure of oversight. We need to create immediate pressure on three fronts: Operational (The Facility), Oversight (ICE), and Political (Senators).

🚨 TARGET 1: The Facility & Corporate Owners

Goal: Jam their lines. The prea@ email is critical because it triggers a federal audit trail for abuse allegations.

• Prairieland Detention Center (LaSalle Corrections)

  • Phone: (817) 409-3995

  • Abuse Reporting Email (PREA): prea@lasallecorrections.com (Attn: Mr. Brian Rodeen)

  • Admin Email: pdcprograms@lasallecorrections.com (Use for “exigent circumstances”)

  • Visitation Email: Pdcvisitation@lasallecorrections.com

• LaSalle Corrections (Corporate HQ)

  • Phone: (318) 495-6200

  • Alt Phone: (318) 992-2151

Phone Script:

“I am calling to demand you immediately turn on the heat. Freezing detainees in 13-degree weather is a human rights violation and a massive liability for your company. I am recording this call to confirm I have notified you of this life-threatening negligence.”

🚨 TARGET 2: ICE Oversight (Dallas Field Office)

Goal: Demand the Field Office Director order the heat be turned on.

• Main Phone: (972) 367-2200

• Alt Phone: (214) 424-7800

• Direct Email: Dallas.Outreach@ice.dhs.gov (Monitored by Community Relations)

Phone Script:

“Prairieland Detention Center is freezing detainees to death. As the Field Office Director, you are responsible. Order LaSalle Corrections to turn on the heat immediately before people die of hypothermia.”

🚨 TARGET 3: Political Pressure (The Fax Blast)

Goal: Emails can be deleted. Faxes must be physically handled. Use FaxZero (5 free/day) or GotFreeFax to send these from your browser.
