Federal immigration officials will soon be able to house an additional 250 people at a privately run prison in the Delta.
Tennessee-based CoreCivic announced Thursday that it has entered contract modifications for the Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility in Tutwiler, which has held U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees for years.
“We are entering a period where our government partners, particularly our federal government partners, are expected to have increased demand,” Damon T. Hininger, CoreCivic’s chief executive officer, said in a statement. “We anticipate additional contracting activity that will help satisfy their growing needs.”
The 2,672-bed facility already houses Mississippi inmates and some pretrial detainees, out-of-state inmates including those from Vermont and South Carolina and U.S. Marshals Service detainees, which includes immigration detainees.
On Thursday, CoreCivic also announced contract modifications to add a nearly 800-detainee capacity at three other facilities it operates: Northeast Ohio Correctional Center, Nevada Southern Detention Center and Cimarron Correctional Facility in Oklahoma.
The company also operates the Adams County Correctional Center in Natchez, which is holding the largest number of ICE detainees, averaging 2,154 a day, according to the data collected by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse and reviewed by Axios.
