Detainment

Detainees have no rights. My experience in the African jail was bad enough a Nigerian said to me, "When you get out of here you have to let the world know what it is like. Nobody is going to care what James from Nigeria has to say but Steve from America may get some attention."

How many days is it acceptable for no access to? 

soap or shampoo

lights on 24/7

no calls to the embassy nor anyone else

no access to an electronic device or wifi 

No written material of any kind (while in the hospital I wasn't allowed to read my own test results; the nurse had to read them to me)

James, dark skinned Black man from Africa said, "Look at me! I have gone 86 days without sunlight."

Several detainees had been previously incarcerated in the UAE. They were allowed outside for exercise, allowed phone time to call and 1 hour per week of internet.
