Archbishop Thomas Wenski condemned the facility Friday, one day before Florida lawmakers are set to tour it for the first time.
"There is a lot that is not right with that center," Wenski said. "It is never good to take pleasure in another person's pain," he adds.
Wenski is weighing in on what he views as "intentionally provocative" rhetoric that is "corrosive of the common good" around "Alligator Alcatraz," the mass detention center of tents and trailers along an aging airstrip in the Everglades.
