Background

The Big Spring Correctional Center (BSCC) is a privately-operated prison located in Big Spring, Texas, operated by the GEO Group under contract with the Federal Bureau of Prisons. It houses federal "deportable alien" detainees. BSCC should not be confused with the federally-owned and operated Federal Correctional Institution, Big Spring in the same town, or its satellite camp.
