    For around 15 hours, immigration detention officers kept Ra.l Subrez
    Herrero confined in a cage slightly larger than a phone booth, where he
    feared snakes and endured mosquitoes in the middle of Florida swampland,
    the former detainee alleged.

    Subrez, 59, told Joso D0az-Balart in an interview for Noticias
    TelemundoAs oAhora 360o that he was forced into the cage, measuring 7
    feet, 9 inches high and 4 feet, 3 inches square, for praying out loud
    for an ill young man at oAlligator Alcatraz,o an ICE detention site.

    oI feel like I was in hell,o Subrez later told NBC News in a phone
    interview from Mexico, where he was deported.

    Subrez spoke days after a Department of Homeland Security watchdog
    confirmed the use of the phone booth-sized cages at the now-shuttered
    Florida detention camp in a Sept. 11 report.

    oThe use of such restrictive spaces is highly unconventional and does
    not align with standards for humane treatment,o the report said.

    The DHS Office of Inspector General report documented its inspectorsA
    findings during an unannounced January visit to the Ochopee, Florida,
    site.
