[00:00:00]You never thought about what a Chinese detention looks like until you're in one.

[00:00:06]The lights never turn off.

[00:00:08]Concrete 20 people sharing a single toilet with no door, no pillow, no blanket, no cell phone, and no idea when you're getting out. Now, this is what administrative detention looks like in China.

[00:00:24]It's not prison, and it's even worse.

[00:00:28]You're held while the police or immigration authorities decide what [music] to do with you.

[00:00:33]Could be a visa issue. Could be a fight.

[00:00:36]Could be something you didn't even know was illegal.

[00:00:40]You don't get a phone call. You don't get to tell your boss. You don't get to tell your family.

[00:00:45]You just disappear.

[00:00:47]And the people in your life have no idea where you went.

[00:00:51]The food is bland rice [music] and vegetables twice a day.

[00:00:56]You sleep on a wooden board.

[00:00:58]The other detainees do not [music] speak English, and the guards definitely don't.

[00:01:03]This place is not comfortable.

[00:01:06]It's designed to process you.

[00:01:09]And unless someone on the outside knows [music] what happened and calls a lawyer, you sit there and wait.

[00:01:16]So, if someone you know has disappeared in China, send me a message immediately.

[00:01:21]We will find them get them out.
