Accountability dossier
Winn is the seventh-largest site in ICE's fiscal 2026 detention workbook, with an average daily population of 1,497.7 against a guaranteed minimum of 946. DHS OIG report OIG-26-08, published June 3, 2026, found the facility did not fully comply with reviewed standards for environmental health and safety, food service, use of force, medical care, classification, the voluntary work program, legal access and materials, staff-detainee communication, and special management unit outdoor recreation. Five of the report's nine recommendations remain open. No source reviewed here establishes who owns or operates the facility.

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.
Owner, operator and intergovernmental counterparty not established
Searched — nothing released
The reviewed primary sources establish ICE as the detaining agency but do not name the owner, the operator or the local counterparty to the intergovernmental service agreement. A candidate operator appearing in secondary sources is held for review.
Collection searched · August 20, 2026 · not an event date
What this does not establish
No operator is inferred from a company's presence at other Louisiana facilities or from the facility's history.
OIG-26-08 full report text not independently extracted
Searched — nothing released
The report's incident-level narrative, including the inspection dates, population figure and use-of-force examples, has not been independently extracted from the official document and is carried as attributed. Locator: OIG-26-08.
Collection searched · August 20, 2026 · not an event date
What this does not establish
The attribution is not a judgment on the accuracy of the secondary summary.
Deaths in custody at this facility have been reported in secondary accounts. No death is published here because this project has not reviewed a primary record establishing identity, date, custody relationship and source for any of them.
Collection searched · August 20, 2026 · not an event date
What this does not establish
Withholding these accounts does not establish that no death occurred. Absence from this dossier is a limit of the records reviewed, not a finding.
No intergovernmental service agreement, federal award record, obligation or outlay for this facility has been obtained, so no money lane is published despite the facility's size in ICE's workbook. Locator: ICE fiscal 2026 workbook, facility type DIGSA.

What this does not establish
The absence of an indexed record does not establish that no money flows to this facility.
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.
