Accountability dossier

Farmville changed private hands on July 1, 2025, when CoreCivic's filed annual report records that it completed the purchase of the Virginia facility from Immigration Centers of America for an aggregate price of $71.4 million. That is private money, not federal spending. ICE's fiscal 2026 workbook reports an average daily population of 668.6 against a printed guaranteed minimum of 459, with an Office of Detention Oversight inspection ending April 23, 2026 marked Pass. Detained plaintiffs challenged transfer and COVID-19 practices at the facility in 2020, under the earlier company era; those allegations were never adjudicated in anything indexed here. The two company eras, the private purchase, the federal workbook figures and the litigation are kept apart.

Partial dossier · Last reviewed August 21, 2026

Published as partial. Identity, the two private company eras, the July 2025 acquisition, bounded company disclosures, the workbook snapshot and the 2020 litigation as allegation are established. The local agreement, the executed contract terms, the settlement instrument, the inspection findings and any harm record are not.

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.

What this dossier does and does not establish

Establishes

  • ICE's fiscal 2026 workbook prints Farmville as its own detention facility row in Virginia, with an average daily population of 668.6 and a printed guaranteed minimum of 459.
  • Immigration Centers of America was the private company associated with the facility before July 1, 2025.
  • CoreCivic announced that it completed a private acquisition of the facility on July 1, 2025 and reports current ownership and operation.
  • CoreCivic filings provide bounded reopening, acquisition-price, contract-term and revenue disclosures for the facility.
  • A 2020 case brought by detained plaintiffs concerned transfer and COVID-19 practices at the facility and was later resolved by agreement.

What this does not establish

  • That any acquisition dollars were paid by ICE or any other federal agency.
  • The current local intergovernmental counterparty, the executed agreement, or its payment terms.
  • That any allegation in the 2020 case was adjudicated, admitted or substantiated.
  • That a settlement proves liability or an admission.
  • That the current Pass rating establishes zero deficiencies.
  • Any death, injury or causal harm at this facility.

Reviewed name matches

  • FARMVILLE DETENTION CENTER — The name ICE prints on the fiscal 2026 workbook row for 508 Waterworks Road, Farmville, Virginia.
  • ICA Farmville — The company-era short form used for the same Farmville property while Immigration Centers of America was the private company associated with it. It names a company era, not a second facility, and Immigration Centers of America is a company rather than a facility alias.

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.

  1. Settlement terms not extracted; no settlement record published

    Searched — nothing released

    The court-filed settlement agreement resolving the injunctive and declaratory counts is indexed and its filing date, July 6, 2022, is established. Its operative provisions were not extracted, so no settlement-terms record is published, and nothing here treats a resolution as an admission. Locator: Case 1:20-cv-00821 Document 253-1, filed 07/06/22.

    Collection searched · August 23, 2026 · not an event date

    What this does not establish

    That no settlement exists, what it required, or that any party admitted anything.

  2. No reviewed agreement naming the local intergovernmental counterparty

    Searched — nothing released

    ICE classes the facility as a dedicated intergovernmental service agreement, but no reviewed agreement in this project names the local entity holding it, the per diem, the guarantee terms or the options. The workbook's class code is not a name resolver, and the town's name is not evidence. Locator: ICE FY2026 workbook row.

    Collection searched · August 21, 2026 · not an event date

    What this does not establish

    That no such agreement exists, or that the local government is or is not a party to one.

  3. No inspection report text indexed for the April 2026 review

    Searched — nothing released

    This project holds ICE's workbook summary of the inspection and no underlying report. What the review examined and what it recorded are not indexed. Locator: ICE FY2026 workbook row.

    Collection searched · August 21, 2026 · not an event date

    What this does not establish

    Absence of the report text does not establish that no deficiency was cited or that conditions were adequate.

  4. Historical harm leads withheld pending a facility-naming primary source

    Searched — nothing released

    Leads about deaths and serious harm in the facility's earlier era are not published. Publication waits on a primary source that names the person, the date, the custody relationship and the facility, together with a case-level record. Locator: Batch 05 packet source docket.

    Collection searched · August 21, 2026 · not an event date

    What this does not establish

    Absence from the records published here does not establish that no one died or was harmed at this facility.
