At a news conference Tues, Giovanni Diaz, one of Guevara’s attorneys, said that if his client was taken into #ICE custody he would likely spend some time at the agency’s downtown field office before being transferred to one of 2 South Georgia #immigrant #jails: the Stewart Detention Center or the Folkston ICE Processing Center.

Diaz added that Georgia’s immigrant #detention facilities are “overwhelmed.”

I use Jails with Ansible to automate their creation, their lifecycle management and automation of the jailed applications and I highly enjoy, how comfortable and easy it is.

No immutable images, no “Dockerfiles”, no weird volume mounts or image registries and no constant re-creation of images and new deployments just to update something. Just some simple, well isolated operating systems to run my applications in 🙂

I don’t say that Linux containers are bad. There’s for sure situations, where they shine. Just for my personal use-case, they are more effort in comparison to BSD jails and I’m a fan of “using the right tool for a task”

And the idempotent nature of Ansible automation makes it easy to describe them in a declarative way and manage them at scale.

Linux containers (OCI Containers) are ephemeral by design, except the volumes, you mount into them. In large scale environments, that can be useful (cattle vs pets argument). But that also introduces new challenges and makes it more complex to manage them.

For my personal environments, I like the approach of FreeBSD jails more. They are just a directory (or ZFS Dataset) with their own, persistent copy of the OS, easy to manage and the networking capabilities are flexible (bridged, vnet, they can be routed, firewalled, etc).

Jails are well aged, are around since FreeBSD 4 back in 2000, the non-ephemeral approach (and the absence of overlay file systems etc) makes them more feel like individual virtual servers than modern Linux containers but with extreme levels of flexibility.

Tools like jmore(8) (by @vermaden) and Bastille (Jails “Templates”) makes them even easier to manage.

I've made some useful updates to my #freebsd #sandbox script. It now uses #jails for isolation. In addition, you can customize the sandbox easily to do things like remove network access or mount directories into the sandbox as read-write or read-only. I plan on using this to easily host services on FreeBSD the same way I currently do on Linux, by running them in sandboxes under #tmux, which easier and more efficient than using #containers.

#NYC has held onto its control of #RikersIsland w/white knuckles — struggling to show progress & reaching the brink of losing #oversight of the #jails as critics of the system called for an outside authority. Conditions have not improved, acc/to lawyers for the plaintiffs & the federal monitor.

NYC has spent >$500k per inmate annually in recent years, acc/to city data, well beyond what other large cities have spent, & yet detainees still sometimes go without food or proper medical care.

The official, called a remediation manager, will work with the #NYC correction commissioner, but be “empowered to take all actions necessary” to turn around the city’s #jails, Judge Swain wrote.

“While the necessary changes will take some time, the court expects to see continual progress toward these goals,” she wrote.

A federal judge overseeing #NYC’s #jails took #RikersIsland out of the city’s control on Tues, ordering that an outside official be appointed to make major decisions regarding the troubled & violent #jail complex.

The judge, Laura Taylor Swain, said in a 77-page ruling that the official would report directly to her & would not be a city employee, turning aside Mayor #EricAdams’ efforts to maintain control of the lockups.

i could really do with a #network and/or #jails review on D49843 if anyone feels like doing that. i’m pretty sure i am in the right here, but i won't get mentor approval to commit unless someone supports it.
