Montana Public Radio examines safety and investigative practices at the Jefferson County jail after Audemio Orozco-Ramirez reported being raped there. Shahid Haque questioned the delay in interviewing other detainees, unfinished evidence testing, the absence of Spanish-speaking staff, and a two-hour gap in surveillance footage. County officials defended the investigation and said the camera system was functioning properly.
This follow-up keeps the focus on concrete institutional questions rather than only the underlying allegation. Shahid's advocacy pressed a Montana jail used by ICE to explain how it protected and communicated with civil detainees.
