“Before I came in here, I was of the mind that they were doing what they said they were doing, where they were focusing on the worst of the worst, criminals and murderers,” he said. “What I’ve come to understand since I’ve been in here is that’s the exact opposite of the people that I’ve met and seen.”

Curtis says of the hundreds of people he’s met inside three different facilities he’s been transferred between, most are “like him.”

“Just people working to provide a life for their family. Trying to be part of society in a productive manner,” he added.

Curtis, a U.S. permanent resident born in Edmonton, holds a business degree and works in the oil and gas sector. He was taken into custody in early November after being flagged at the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston while returning from a business trip to Mexico.
