BUTLER COUNTY, Ohio — The Butler County Jail is facing growing criticism from former detainees and community members who are raising concerns about conditions inside the facility and the contract the jail has to detainee migrants awaiting deportation.

Imam Ayman Soliman, a Muslim chaplain who was detained at the jail for 73 days , said the treatment and conditions during his stay were dehumanizing.

"My experience with ICE was much better than my experience with the Butler County Jail," Soliman said.

Soliman, who says he suffers from chronic migraines, said he struggled to receive adequate medical care during his detention. He said he requested medical attention for migraine pain at 5 p.m. one day but didn't see a nurse until 4:30 a.m., who only gave him 200 milligrams of ibuprofen.
