Detainees at the Florida Everglades center are segregated by color-coded uniforms based on criminal history and flight risk, amid lawsuits over conditions and attorney access.
- At the Florida Everglades site, arrivals are given color-coded uniforms and wristbands and segregated by criminal history and flight risk, the handbook given to detainees shows.

- The handbook lists strict hygiene and dress rules, providing soap, shampoo, barbering services and limited personal religious items while enforcing behavior rules like never removing uniform shirts or speaking during head counts.
- Legal filings show the handbook and access disputes, with Mark Saunders, The Nakamoto Group, confirming all attorney meeting requests are granted while a private contractor official disputes confidentiality claims.
- President Donald Trump toured the site and suggested it could be a model for future lockups as his administration pushes expansion, yet detainees' reports describe toilets not flushing and skipped showers.
