The support services GEO provides on behalf of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement include around-the-clock access to medical care, in-person and virtual legal and family visitation, general and legal library access, dietician-approved meals, religious and specialty diets, recreational amenities, and opportunities to practice their religious beliefs. Additionally, all of GEO’s ICE Processing Centers are independently accredited by the American Correctional Association and the National Commission on Correctional Health Care. At locations where GEO provides health care services, individuals are provided with robust access to teams of medical professionals including physicians, nurses, dentists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. Ready access to off-site medical specialists, imaging facilities, Emergency Medical Services, and local community hospitals is also provided when needed. Health care staffing at GEO’s ICE Processing Center is more than double that of many states’ correctional facilities.
The center provides a safe, secure, and humane environment that promotes the welfare and socialization of detainees. Realistic self-help education programs are provided and detainees are encouraged to participate in various intra-institution work assignments. Individual social, psychological, medical and religious counseling is available. A robust transportation system performed by the GEO Transportation Inc. (GTI) supports ICE ground and air operations.
The center consists of a two-story building designed and constructed to blend in with the community setting and to provide privacy, separation by gender, and full support space for the residents and staff. The facility features a kitchen building, expanded medical clinic and courtroom areas as well an office building for client use.
In less than a year of operation, the center was awarded accreditation by the American Correctional Association (ACA) in 1999. The center was reaccredited in 2023 with a score of 100%.
