Zusammenfassung:Through Iceboxes and Kennels informs readers about lesser discussed issues in immigration reform. Luis H. Zayas introduces the history and politics of the systems of immigration enforcement and of detention centers operated by private prison companies growing rich by using penal methods on infants, toddlers, children, and mothers. Featuring stories told by children and parents, the book describes government decisions, at the federal and state levels, that vilified and hurt children and parents. It analyzes the stages of migration from Central America and dissects the damaging effects on children's brain growth and their social, psychological, and emotional development.
