Detention:
Are you or a loved one
being detained?
PAIR’s Detention Program is the only immigration legal services program with negotiated access to all major ICE detention centers in Massachusetts and Wyatt, Rhode Island to conduct legal orientation. To learn more, read our Detention Self Help Manual. PAIR also provides free legal services for detainees with bond and removal defense. Access to counsel for detained asylum seekers is critical as this population of immigrants has no family, support network, or right to a free attorney. Without legal advice, detained immigrants do not understand their basic rights, may remain unjustly detained, and face deportation. Please click below for help.
