Phase I: The original facility was designed, financed, constructed and furnished by The GEO Group. The construction of the building was completed within 150 days of contract signature.

The detainee living areas are of radial design permitting both direct supervision and electronic surveillance. These factors contribute significantly to the safety and security of the detainees, as well as, providing inherent operating efficiencies.

Phase II: In August 1992, under a new contract with the ICE, the land size was doubled and the capacity of the facility was increased from 150 to 300 beds. The additional 150-bed unit was designed and constructed by The GEO Group and provides custody levels for minimum, medium, and maximum-security male detainees, and minimum to medium security for female detainees.

Phase III: In August 1998, construction was initiated for a 40-bed expansion in the dormitories. In March 2000, the capacity officially increased to 340.

With the implementation of the bridge contract in 2003, the capacity increased to 356.

The GEO Group is under contract to provide secure care, custody, and control of aliens being detained by ICE.
