Capacity: 400
Client: U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE)
Accreditations: N/A
On August 29, 2013, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement modified the existing LaSalle Detention Facility contract between The LaSalle Economic Development District and The GEO Group, Inc. (GEO) to provide a detention and removal staging facility on the site of the Alexandria, Louisiana Airport. This 400-bed staging facility will serve as a 72-hour holding facility.
GEO provides the safekeeping, housing, and medical services to the population at the Staging Facility. The new state of the art transfer center provides efficiency of the ICE removal process and provides stability at the LaSalle facility, ensuring that the facility operates in support of ICE’s detention needs.
Office space for 30 offices, space for additional Air Operations Personnel, and space located adjacent to the tarmac to facilitate access to the aircrafts.
The facility is not accredited at this time.
