Accountability dossier
A long-stay Polk County DIGSA with a clear county agreement identity, attributed MTC management, a historical project-registration record that must not be mistaken for title, and secondary reporting of a repeat suicide-monitoring deficiency.
Partial dossier · Last reviewed August 22, 2026
Strong agreement identity, current population, county role, and bounded historical/project evidence. Current title, primary operator agreement, financial terms, detailed ODO findings, and service-provider contracts remain unresolved.

Identity caution — rows kept separate
Polk County is not a unique facility label
Keep this Livingston, Texas facility separate from Polk County Jail in Des Moines, Iowa and other Polk County facilities.
The 2010 registration prints a county judge in an owner field; it must remain a project-record value rather than a current or personal ownership claim.

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.
Select or focus a marker to read the underlying record. Every marker below is also listed in the table.
