NATIVE AMERICAN PRISON PROBE: From USA Today, via How Appealing:

U.S. authorities have identified at least 16 prisoners who have died in Native American detention centers since 2001, according to a senior federal official involved in an investigation of conditions at the facilities.

The Interior Department’s Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) has been gathering the information for the past several weeks as part of a wide-ranging review of allegations of neglect and abuse within the network of 74 detention centers that are scattered across the United States.
