A violent migrant residing in what has fast become America’s most famous prison spoke out this week about the harrowing conditions the prisoners face there.
As TGP readers know, the state of Florida built an incredible new Alcatraz-like concept that the State of Florida is using to house criminal illegal aliens as they are deported. The facility, located in Ochopee, Florida, is surrounded by alligators and pythons, anxious for an easy meal should any illegal somehow escape custody.
NBC 6 South Florida interviewed Leamsy “La Figura” Izquierdo, a 34-year-old migrant and self-described “urban artist” from Cuba, about the conditions on Alligator Alcatraz. He was arrested in Miami-Dade County following a violent altercation.
According to a police report, he faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and simple assault.
In what will come as music to Americans’ ears, Izquierdo had nothing but complaints about the prison.
When readers listen to his whining, they will understand why. The conditions are completely brutal and disgusting.

A dangerous illegal immigrant is complaining about the living conditions at Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz ICE detention facility, claiming he hasn’t showered in four days, the lights are on 24/7, receives food once a day with worms in it, and the mosquitoes are “the size of… pic.twitter.com/0gXcVKY1lj

Izquierdo starts by saying there is no water for him and the approximately 400 other detainees to bathe with, noting that it has been FOUR DAYS since he last took a shower. But that is probably the “best” part of living at Alligator Alcatraz.
He then says he only gets fed once a day, and the food sometimes has worms in it. Meanwhile, the detention lights are on 24/7, making it harder for the prisoners to sleep.
Given that Alligator Alcatraz is situated on a swamp, one would expect the insect situation to be abominable. Indeed, Izquierdo describes seeing mosquitoes “the size of elephants.
Imagine how many blood meals those insects eat in a day!
Izquierdo closes by whining about being unable to go outside and that the tents are freezing. Considering how hot and humid Florida is in the summer, the prison wardens must have turned the air conditioners sky high.
While one can debate how brutal living conditions should be for prisoners in America, we should all be able to agree that it should not entail things like free TV, books, and gyms. If Izquierdo is so miserable at Alligator Alcatraz, he can always ask to be self-deported back to Cuba.
