Found this old pic of Exchange Place, and it was labelled "1981."

I think the second pic is approximately what that space looks like currently.

The first pic is a bit before my time, as I didn't start hanging out in JC until the 1990s.

I know the current PATH station entrance and building were not constructed/refurbished until some time in the late 1980s, so I wonder what the station looked like in 1981.

First of all I want to thank any and all US citizens who are showing the courage to show up to protest and shine a light on this travesty and abuse of human rights by the current administration, and the private corporations reaping financial profits from it. I would love to join the folks who are standing up to what is happening at Delaney, and many other ICE detention camps around the country, but as a recently naturalized green card holder, I fear I would risk ending up on the other side of the fence if even the smallest incident/interaction occurs. On behalf of the immigrant community, we appreciate and applaud your efforts.

There's no doubt that the conditions inside are as terrible as being reported, if not worse. The private corporate guards for the GEO group have little to no oversight or accountability.

I do want to suggest to anyone out there who might have some free time and/or ambition to perhaps consider taking an even further step to witness the conditions firsthand, as crazy as that may sound. GEO group is actively recruiting for multiple positions inside the facility, including guards, and I somehow get the feeling they are not too choosy/particular about the necessary qualifications (and starting at a whopping $40 p/hour or so through a federal contract on our tax $$!!). Just a thought:
