In Farmville, about an hour south of Charlottesville, there’s an immigration detention facility. It holds men who officials allege are in the country illegally.
Earlier this summer Virginia Public Radio requested a tour of the privately-owned facility.
It took months to arrange, but reporter Mallory Noe-Payne was finally granted access and has this report.
