To realize this vision we engage intellectually and soulfully with those impacted by the system. Faithful Friends consists of committed volunteers whose purpose is to offer detained immigrants connection and support. Many immigrants in detention do not have family or friends who can visit them because they have been transferred to the Sacramento from another part of the country or state. We visit at the Yuba County Jail in Marysville where there are 160 people being housed there through a contract that Yuba County has with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). ICE purchases bed space from 250 county jails and private facilities throughout the United States for people detained on immigration issues. This profit-driven system results in the isolation and abuse of thousands of people every day. There are currently 55 Community Visitation Programs in 23 states established under the auspices of Freedom for Immigrants freedomforimmigrants.org and Faithful Friends is proud to be one of them.
