Five Years Inside ICE is a raw, unfiltered memoir of survival inside the U.S. immigration detention system for five years.
From county jails across the South to federal detention centers hidden from public view, Joseph A Daniel recounts five years of indefinite confinement-without a sentence, without a release date, and without due process. This is not a political argument or a secondhand report. It is lived experience.
The book exposes what happens behind locked doors: racial profiling, abuse of power, psychological warfare, and a system that profits from human captivity. Told in the author's own uncompromising voice, Five Years Inside ICE documents the realities faced by Black Caribbean and African detainees swept into a system designed to break them.
This memoir is testimony, warning, and record. What happens in ICE does not stay in ICE.
