A pickup truck with a Confederate-themed sticker is parked outside the Reception and Medical Center, Florida’s prison hospital where new inmates are processed, in Lake Butler, Fla., April 16, 2021. In 2013, at a prison dorm room in the facility, Warren Williams, a Black inmate who suffered from severe anxiety and depression fought and bit Thomas Driver, a white prison guard. When Williams was released a few months later, Driver and two fellow members of the Ku Klux Klan conspired to kill him. The KKK man they enlisted to do the killing was an FBI informant.

AP’s reporting suggests that while many of China’s “training centers” have closed, some like this one were simply converted into prisons or pre-trial detention facilities, largely for vast numbers of Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim minorities.
