Surviving the EMDC

Over the last decade, a startling number of horror stories have come out of the Elgin Middlesex Detention Centre. Inmates assaulted by guards, inmates murdered by other inmates, drug overdoses, and outrageously awful living conditions.  And what makes it worse is that these aren’t little known events. They’ve been reported on heavily over the last several years.
