    The county facility is held apart from Florida's other detention sites

    Glades County Detention Center in Moore Haven is its own workbook row. Baker Correctional Institution in Sanderson, Broward Transitional Center and the state-run Everglades site are separate facilities with their own records. County-level or state-level records that do not name this detention center are not attached to it.

    Nothing about the other facilities' agreements, inspections or populations, and nothing that would justify combining their figures.

    Harm records indexed here (observed / attributed)

    Observed means an official record documents it. Attributed means a named source reached the finding. The two are never summed.

      No effective period printed in the indexed record

      ICE maintains a facility record for Glades County Detention Center and prints it as its own row in the fiscal 2026 detention-statistics workbook, classed as an intergovernmental service agreement.

    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.

    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. No reviewed agreement, operator record or payment term

      Searched — nothing released

      ICE classes the facility as an intergovernmental service agreement site, but no reviewed source on this branch prints the signed agreement, the local counterparty, an operator, a per diem or any obligation or outlay. Nothing is inferred from the facility class. Locator: ICE facility record; ICE FY2026 workbook row.

      Collection searched · August 22, 2026 · not an event date

      What this does not establish

      That no agreement exists, that no payments are made, or that no private party operates services at the facility.

    2. No inspection report text indexed for the March 2026 inspection

      Searched — nothing released

      The workbook prints the inspection type, end date, standard and final rating. The report itself was not indexed, so no finding, deficiency, recommendation count or corrective-action status is published. Locator: ICE FY2026 workbook row.

      Collection searched · August 22, 2026 · not an event date

      What this does not establish

      That the inspection cited no deficiencies or that conditions were adequate.

    3. The named death record is not machine-joined to this facility

      Searched — nothing released

      This project's human-cost dataset carries the March 16, 2026 death as a named record whose facility label is 'Glades County Detention Center' with match status 'named-unmatched'. The join is stated here in prose from the agency announcement and is deliberately not written into the death dataset, which continues to say the match is unresolved. Locator: Human-cost record royer-perez-jimenez-2026.

      Collection searched · August 22, 2026 · not an event date

      What this does not establish

      A verified dataset-level identity match, a complete custodial chronology, or any additional death at this facility.
