A population level a contract treats as guaranteed. The workbook prints the number, not the price.
No award record in this dataset names this facility. ICE and its contractors may hold awards covering it that this project has not yet indexed.
A
Accountability dossier
ICE holds people at this Florence, Arizona site under a U.S. Marshals Service contract type, with an average stay of 32.7 days in fiscal 2026 — among the longest in the workbook. ICE's oversight office ran a follow-up inspection there in May 2024, which by definition means an earlier inspection that fiscal year found deficiencies. The released copy of the follow-up report carries readable text only through its process section; what the inspectors found is not established by anything published here.
Partial dossier · Last reviewed August 20, 2026
Published as partial: the inspection is established but its findings are not readable in the released copy, and no operator or award record has been established for this facility.

Lanes are shown side by side because they share a facility and a calendar, not a cause. Chronological proximity does not establish causation.
Only dated events are plotted. Records carrying an as-of or dataset-cutoff date, such as ICE’s fiscal-year population aggregates, are listed in the table instead, because a data-pull date is not the date something happened.

Open research questions
These are the gaps the reviewed record set names. A question listed here is unanswered, not answered in the facility's favour, and this list does not claim to cover everything unknown about the facility.
No civil rights memorandum found in the published DHS collection
Searched — nothing released
On the search date, the DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties published collection contained no investigation or recommendation memorandum naming this facility. This is a search result, not an event, so it is not plotted on the timeline and not counted as legal evidence. Locator: CRCL recommendation and investigation memoranda collection.
Collection searched · August 20, 2026 · not an event date
What this does not establish
Absence from the published collection does not establish that no complaint was filed, investigated, or substantiated. CRCL does not publish every memorandum.
The findings pages of the May 2024 inspection report are not extractable
Searched — nothing released
The copy ICE released in its inspection library carries readable text only through the inspection-process section. The findings, detainee relations and conclusion pages produced no extractable text on the retrieval date. This is a retrieval limitation, not a finding of no deficiencies.

Collection searched · August 20, 2026 · not an event date
What this does not establish
