The Justice Department today filed a motion for appointment of a receiver in the U.S. District Court, St. Croix, USVI, to remedy 25 years of non-compliance with court orders by the Virgin Islands Bureau of Corrections (BOC) regarding unconstitutional conditions of confinement at the Golden Grove Adult Correctional and Detention Facility.

Judge Brian Cogan ruled Monday that the detention conditions at Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan are necessary given Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman's history of jailbreaks in Mexico.
