MCFARLAND, CA · Contract detention facility

Central Valley Annex

ICE's published operating figures for this facility, with the researched record set out below.

01

What ICE publishes

FY2026 average daily population
83.7

ICE's own fiscal-year average, not a bed count and not a point-in-time headcount.

Average of that population convicted or with pending charges
16.6

ICE's classification, reproduced as published. This is an ICE administrative classification. Pending charges are not convictions, and this field is not population-level crime-rate evidence.

Average length of stay
25.4 days
Guaranteed minimum
560

A population level a contract treats as guaranteed. The workbook prints the number, not the price.

Last inspection end

Money this project traces here

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.

02b

Contract floor, population and ownership

A difference between a printed contract floor and a reported population is a difference in beds. It becomes money only where an auditor published a figure.

More than 10% below the printed floor. A printed guaranteed minimum is a contract floor recorded in ICE's workbook. It is not the facility's physical or licensed capacity, and on its own it establishes no payment.

Accountability dossier

Central Valley Annex at 254 Taylor Avenue in McFarland, California is printed in ICE's fiscal 2026 workbook as its own contract detention facility row in the San Francisco area of responsibility, holding women and men, with an average daily population of 83.7 against a printed guaranteed minimum of 560, an average length of stay of 25.4 days, and a pre-occupancy inspection dated March 18, 2026 marked Pass under PBNDS 2011-2016 revisions. GEO publishes the facility as company-owned with a 700-bed published capacity and ICE as its client. Award 70CDCR26FR0000042 covers more than one facility; only modification P00002, dated April 3, 2026 and valued at $5,869,612, names Central Valley Annex, and that action is recorded here and never duplicated on Golden State Annex. This is not Golden State Annex at 611 Frontage Road. Outlays, payments and the current operating instrument are not established here.

Partial dossier · Last reviewed August 22, 2026

C

Money, population, inspections, litigation and harm on one calendar

The facility record beside the money record

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.

Facility evidence records by date, lane, evidence status and source.

What this dossier does and does not establish

Establishes

  • A distinct Central Valley Annex identity separate from Golden State Annex.
  • GEO company ownership/recipient/service relationships.
  • A facility-specific P00002 action for $5,869,612.
  • A separate workbook row and pre-occupancy inspection state.

What this does not establish

  • The whole award value belongs to Central Valley Annex.
  • Any outlay or payment amount.
  • That GEO’s service description proves every operator duty.
  • That Pass means no deficiencies.
  • That the printed floor is capacity or payment.
  • Withheld from publication: The whole shared award is not allocable to this facility.
  • Withheld from publication: No linked File C outlay is not evidence of zero payment.
  • Withheld from publication: Current reviewed sources establish ownership, recipient, and services, but do not independently publish a precise operator role.

Reviewed name matches

  • CENTRAL VALLEY ANNEX — Workbook name. The workbook row, GEO facility page, SEC filing, and facility-specific P00002 description align on name and McFarland location.
