 In addition to the five suicides at the Eloy Detention Center since 2005, there were 53 people placed on suicide watch there in 2013 alone, according to the most recent available reports from ICE. But Liz Cedillo-Pereira, the high-ranking ICE official we spoke to, believes suicide is generally not a big problem in the ICE detention system nationwide. We looked it up, and out of more than 300,000 people who brought into our facilities last year, one individual took their life.
