    You dont need everyday, just need one from say a month before, and straight after release, Im sure someone had an iphone around him in this day and age.

    You know its bullshit, if conditions were actually that bad, youd have thousands of people dropping simiar weight and thousands of photos to prove it

    Hey, you know what would be funny, if most of them are actually getting fatter after a month in detention, they are actually getting fed properly and are sitting around for a month not exercising

    So I point out 12 kilos in 23 days would be impossible, and you change the subject

    On to beatings etc. Im not going to deny there will be some dickhead guards that do dickhead things, that kind of stuff goes on everywhere.

    But the 12 kilos in 23 days thing, total bullshit

    Not really if you are under the right conditions. It's not healthy but it happens. It's not unusual for the average high school wrestler to gain and loose weight so he fights with an advantage in his class. Lot of high school coaches are shaving a kilo or 2 a day off their athletes a day. If they do it a detention center can.

    Now that you have said that, its time to show off your scientific prowess and tell us what the maximum amount of weight one could lose in a week, body fat that is, not water weight.

    Hint: I already know the answer

    Thanks for the link that says:

    " but an official says 'the vast majority' proved to be unfounded"

    And

    "Most of the assault allegations involved one minor abusing another"

    So you just provided a link telling us most kids in the detention centres were abused by other latino kids


    Only 178 out of 4500+ complaints related to the staff, and even then mostly not the actual detention centre staff but:

    " in particular, youth-care workers who escort the children everywhere they go"

    Of course the headlines dont spell out all that. News sources rely on most not actually reading the article

    A lot of what I am talking about would be water weight I guess. Weight that is easily lost or gained.

    So what is the answer

    I've run all the calculations and I agree it's 42.

    BUT only for men under 5'8, if you are over 5'8 Its only 40

    eight feet is nominal IMO you have to have a solid base for something that tall, and also the soil it's built in. look at a few engineering books...….most skyscrapers have almost as much in the ground as they are tall.

    I agree it serves a solid purpose. I just don't think the border wall is gonna be like that, certainly not the whole thing.

    Why are you ignoring my question about european countries, a subject you brought up yourself in here (and could be a worthy comparison as illegal immigration is a real problem there too)?
    I don't get why you bring it up (good!), then ignore a sincere reaction (not good... unfortunate).

    I read the article

    The staff who escort the kids everywhere they go are still staff, not sure why you think they're not.
    178 allegations of abuse against staff.
    1300 serious enough to refer to the FBI ( includes staff and from other detainees)
    And sexual abuse is hard to prove, just because officials determine something is unfounded doesnt mean it didnt happen, it means it couldn't be proven
    And it isnt okay to lock children in prisons where they're vulnerable to sexual abuse by the other detainees either, not sure why you think that's fine.

    You are defending the indefinite imprisonment of children

    I changed the subject after you provided no evidence for your assertion.
