00:00All new at six for months. We've been hearing reports about the conditions out of alligator Alcatraz and the hundreds
00:07of inmates being housed there. There are several lawsuits including one class action over detainees access to lawyers. Few people
00:15outside of workers have been allowed inside to get a close look. So we requested 911 calls to get a
00:21glimpse into the kind of emergencies that are taking place. CBS News Miami's Tanya Francois joins us now with what
00:28we found. Tanya?
00:29Yeah, that's right, Elliot. The Collier County Sheriff's Office, they respond to 911 calls from alligator Alcatraz. So we sent
00:36them a freedom of information request to Collier County asking for all emergency calls in and out of the facility
00:43beginning from the very day it opened. And we got back nearly 70 of them.
00:47Hey, I was wondering if we could get EMS out to the jet port, the Miami Collier Jet Port. They
00:56had somebody trip a phone, bust their face.
00:59Of the almost 70 calls sent to us from the 911 calls for service to and from what was once
01:05known as the Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport that we now call alligator Alcatraz, that was one of the
01:12more serious.
01:13This was another. Is she still actively choking? She is not. She's like she passed out and she's breathing again
01:23and she's kind of going in and out. It is not clear if that patient is staff or a detainee.
01:28Most of the calls seem to come from staff whose cell phones accidentally called 911.
01:33911. I counted about 30 of those calls. Call your county 911. What is the address of your emergency?
01:40Hello. Hello. There were also concerns about security coming from facilities internal dispatch. Over here at alligator Alcatraz dispatch. Yes,
01:50ma'am.
01:52I have my watch commander here warning one of your watch commanders to give him a call in reference to
01:59how you all handle trespassing. Finally, there was one call that we clearly could tell was about a detainee, the
02:08mother of his children calling from Miami Dade County, asking for medical help on his behalf.
02:18Okay. Okay. Okay, un momento. A security guard called saying he had like a like a little stroke and he
02:32can't feel his arm.
02:35Now we sent a similar records request to Miami Dade County Fire Rescue for all of their calls for service
02:40and they told us they have not responded to a single call at the facility. Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi
02:47Noem told CBS News she hopes to launch more detention centers like alligator Alcatraz. In the studios tonight, Tanya Francois,
02:54CBS News, Miami.
