Accountability dossier

Pine Prairie ICE Processing Center at 1133 Hampton Dupre Road in Pine Prairie, Louisiana is printed in ICE's fiscal 2026 workbook as a dedicated intergovernmental service agreement facility in the New Orleans area of responsibility, with an average daily population of 801.6 and an average length of stay of 15.8 days. The workbook prints no guaranteed minimum for it, and that blank stays blank rather than becoming a zero. GEO's own facility profile and its Form 10-K present Pine Prairie as a company-owned facility with ICE as the client; the property came to GEO in its 2015 acquisition of LCS assets. ICE indexes agreement EROIGSA-15-0006 P00038 but the executed agreement, its counterparty and its economics were not obtained. A 2021 civil-rights complaint alleged serious conditions, GEO denied the allegations, and federal litigation over access to counsel and conditions produced procedural opinions in 2022 and 2023.

Partial dossier · Last reviewed August 22, 2026

Published as partial. Strong identity, ownership and company role, agreement index, complaint and litigation records. Current money, exact corporate entities, complaint disposition and inspection detail remain unresolved.

B

Who is involved, and on what basis

  • Federal agencyU.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement

    No effective period printed in the indexed record

    ICE lists the facility in its own detention-management workbook and awards the orders indexed here.

    What this does not establish

    Agency custody does not establish who owns or operates the physical facility.

  • February 17, 2015 — no end date printed

    GEO's current facility profile and its Form 10-K facilities table present Pine Prairie as a company-owned facility with ICE as the client and describe the support services GEO provides there. The role is published from the company's own disclosure, not inferred from an award.

    What this does not establish

    Which GEO legal entity holds title and which entity holds the operating agreement. No additional inference.

  • February 17, 2015 — no end date printed

    GEO's SEC filing classifies Pine Prairie as owned, and acquisition documents identify LCS-Pine Prairie among the acquired assets.

    What this does not establish

    The exact deed-holding subsidiary or parcel title, which would require local property records.

C

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.
