A friend of an inmate at the Otay Mesa Detention center who spoke with NBC 7 on the condition of anonymity alleges his friend is facing horrible conditions. “Prison is better than this because the way they treat him when he first got arrested, I told you the journey when he first got arrested, they put him in a place where they call it, la heladera, which translates to the icebox, it's so cold. You don't get to sleep and it's so crowded. They have about 200 people in one room where you can only fit about probably 75 max,” he said.
