Irwin County Detention Center is a county jail located in Irwin County, Georgia. Data sourced from the HIFLD Prison Boundaries open dataset.
Background
The Irwin County Detention Center, located in Ocilla, Georgia is privately owned by Louisiana-based LaSalle Corrections. In 2010, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) contracted to use the facility as an immigrant detention center and renewed its contract with LaSalle in 2019 at a rate for each immigrant of $71.29 a day. The detention center lost its contract in 2021 with the government after a series of human rights violations in 2020. At least 43 women prisoners and a whistleblower nurse came forward alleging that non-consensual surgeries and medically unnecessary procedures, including hysterectomies, were performed by a gynecologist affiliated with the jail. The women also complained of retaliation and subpar COVID-19 treatment.
