Accountability dossier
The Annex is its own facility with its own ICE workbook row: 281.3 average daily population in fiscal 2026 against a printed guaranteed minimum of 338. DHS OIG inspected it together with the Processing Center in November 2021 and recorded that annex meals were prepared in the main kitchen and arrived cold because the annex kitchen was not in use, that annex showers were rundown with mold and peeling paint, and that medical care was not coordinated for people moved between the two buildings. The two recommendations that name Folkston IPC specifically are not attached here. ICE records a June 4, 2026 inspection marked Pass; that report is not indexed.

Identity caution — rows kept separate
Three separate Folkston-area facilities share one road
ICE's fiscal 2026 workbook prints three separate rows on Highway 252 in Folkston, Georgia. A shared road, city, company, agreement lineage or umbrella label does not make them one facility, and no figure is summed across them here.

What this does not establish
That the three rows share ownership, an operator, a contract, an inspection result or a population. No OIG-22-47 finding is attached to the D. Ray James facility.
OIG-22-47 states that Folkston — the term the report defines for the Processing Center and the Annex together — is owned and operated by GEO Group, Inc., and prints the Annex's own maximum capacity of 338.
What this does not establish
The acquisition date, which entity holds title, or present-day ownership after the 2021 inspection.
OIG-22-47 states that Folkston is owned and operated by GEO Group, Inc. and describes the Annex clinic and the unused annex kitchen inside that operation. The report prints no Annex activation date, so no operating start date is published.
What this does not establish
An activation or operating start date, that the company directly performs every clinical, food, transport or other service, or the current contract terms.

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.
