‘What Is Going to Happen to Us?’ Inside ISIS Prison, Children Ask Their Fate

"The prisoners cover the floor like a carpet of human despair. Many are missing eyes or limbs, some are bone-thin from sickness, and most wear orange jumpsuits similar to what the Islamic State, the terrorist group they once belonged to, dressed its own captives in before killing them". A rare look inside prisons in the territory of northeastern Syria that is held by ISIS. Tens of thousands of men, women, and children have been moved into these prisons or into squalid camps after surviving the toppling of the Islamic State from the Turkish military excursion. These people are not only from Syria but also Iraq, Russia, and elsewhere; countries that are not willing to take their people back. The "people" referred to are the children whose parents were killed. Children who think that they are going to be killed in the prisons, or die from disease.
