Six musicians died. The other...
After months of confinement, many of the Haitians developed symptoms of severe depression; at least 29 tried to commit suicide. Hundreds of others complained of blinding headaches, stomach cramps and other ailments, which they attributed to uncertainty as to how long they would be held and concern for their impoverished families back home. The longer they waited for their status to be determined, the more desperate they became. At Krome, a forbidding enclosure surrounded by high watchtowers and double cyclone fences topped with barbed wire, one detainee explained why he had stopped eating the camp's food...
