"DETAINED: Voices from the Migrant Incarceration System," is an oral history project archiving the stories of asylum seekers formerly incarcerated in Arizona. The organizers call the archive a counter-memorial and intend for it to be a record of the emergent landscape of for-profit immigrant detention. Their hope is that the project will foster public engagement with the marginalized voices at the center of the immigrant detention industry.

"DETAINED: Voices from the Migrant Incarceration System," es un proyecto de historia oral que archiva las historias de solicitantes de asilo anteriormente encarcelados en Arizona. Los organizadores llaman el archivo una contramemoria y pretenden que sea un registro del panorama emergente de la detención de inmigrantes con fines lucrativos. Su esperanza es que el proyecto fomente participación pública con los voces marginadas en el centro de la industria de la detención de inmigrantes.
