The unresolved fraud in the US Federal prison system

This bothers me. When I was an ICE-detainee in Honolulu HI 2011-12, I wasn't the only Swede. Another woman, ten years younger than me, short hair and with a severe mental illness, suddenly showed up and was detained too, in December 2011 I believe. She remained in custody until at least April 2012, before she was deported to Sweden, not appealing their decision in court. Yet, her release date states Nov 16th, 2011, before she even was in the United States. How is that possible? And most of all - why isn't it being corrected? And, is it a coincidence that the increased ICE detentions currently in the United States, began on the same date; the 16th of November?

Luckily, mine is correct. Because as you know, being detained also means having a valid alibi. Is there someone trying to assume different? Is it a mix-up, given that in November, was also when I contacted the Swedish Foreign Ministry, who allegedly were told by the regional office in San Francisco, that I had been released and therethrough they set it like this? The truth of the matter is, that I was stopped from bonding out with a friend and instead put in the SHU over Thanksgiving. Or, is it even why I have been called mentally ill in Stockholm, in this attempt to mix us up, in an effort to silence me? And even why the court lied and pretended that I had been locked up in a mental institution before, which I never have.

Either way, there are no reasons to not correct the date. And you can check it for yourself, and for any others; Americans and Immigrants alike, in the BOP Inmate Locator online here.
