Accountability dossier

Jackson Parish is one of the larger facilities in ICE's current Louisiana network, with a reported average daily population above 1,100 and a 500-person guaranteed minimum. ICE publishes a Jackson Parish intergovernmental agreement, but the current private operator and the property owner are not established in the primary sources indexed here. ICE's own sources also disagree on whether the street address is 287 or 327 Industrial Drive. Civil-rights groups filed a 2020 complaint alleging force and coercion against six Cameroonian asylum seekers, and separately reported severe heat, water, flooding and sewage problems after Hurricane Laura. Those claims remain allegations and attributed reports unless an agency or court establishes them. This dossier preserves the allegations, the official address conflict and the missing contract chain rather than laundering them into false certainty.

Partial dossier · Last reviewed August 21, 2026

Published as partial. Identity, current population, the Jackson Parish agreement identity, the official address conflict, the inspection history and two source-attributed 2020 accountability records are established. The current party chain, contract economics, inspection findings and the complaint disposition are not.

    Identity caution — rows kept separate

    Official ICE sources print different street numbers for the same facility

    ICE's fiscal 2026 workbook and ICE's public facility directory print different Industrial Drive street numbers for Jackson Parish Correctional Center in Jonesboro. Both are official ICE publications naming the same facility, city and ZIP. The reviewed records do not establish which is current, so both are printed as filed and neither is silently overwritten.

    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 civil rights memorandum found in the published DHS collection

      Searched — nothing released

      On the search date, the DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties published collection contained no investigation or recommendation memorandum naming this facility. This is a search result, not an event, so it is not plotted on the timeline and not counted as legal evidence. Locator: CRCL recommendation and investigation memoranda collection.

      Collection searched · August 20, 2026 · not an event date

      What this does not establish

      Absence from the published collection does not establish that no complaint was filed, investigated, or substantiated. CRCL does not publish every memorandum.

      DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties

    2. No deed, state record or contract identifies the owner or the legal operator

      Searched — nothing released

      The reviewed packet contains no deed, title instrument, state project record or executed operating agreement for the Jonesboro property. The parish appears only as the intergovernmental agreement counterparty, and the private operator named in party sources is held as an unpublished candidate. Locator: ICE FOIA library entry 70CDCR19DIG000005 P00017.

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

      What this does not establish

      That no owner or operator exists, or that LaSalle Corrections is or is not the operating entity.

    3. The executed IGSA and subcontract financial terms were not parsed

      Searched — nothing released

      ICE indexes 70CDCR19DIG000005 P00017 but publishes no value, per diem, guarantee payment or obligation in the reviewed entry, and no award record in this dataset names the facility. No money figure is published for Jackson Parish. Locator: ICE FOIA library entry 70CDCR19DIG000005 P00017.

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

      What this does not establish

      That no federal money flows to this facility. Absence of an indexed amount is a gap in this dataset, not a finding about spending.

    4. No inspection report text was extracted, and no complaint disposition was located

      Searched — nothing released

      The January 2026 Office of Detention Oversight report is not indexed here, the 2019 to 2021 inspection reports were not extracted, and no reviewed agency or court record shows how the November 2020 complaint was resolved. Locator: ICE facility-inspection collection; SPLC complaint summary.

    5. 2026 habeas petitions naming the facility are not normalized into findings

      Searched — nothing released

      Federal docket indexes show multiple individual immigration habeas petitions in 2026 naming Jackson Parish Correctional Center as respondent or custody location. This project does not convert petition volume into a facility finding: the claims, procedural postures and outcomes vary, many remain pending, and a habeas petition may challenge detention authority or duration rather than facility conditions. Locator: Immigration habeas docket index, 2026 entries.

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

      What this does not establish

      Facility misconduct, a conditions finding, or any count of wrongdoing. Petition volume measures litigation activity, not established facts about the facility.
