McRae Correctional Institution

Background

McRae Correctional Facility is a privately managed, low-security prison for men, owned and operated by the CoreCivic since 2000 under contract with the United States Federal Bureau of Prisons for federal prisoners. The maximum capacity of the prison is 2275. It stands in McRae-Helena, Telfair County, Georgia. In 2014 Azadeh N. Shahshahani of the ACLU of Georgia reported that McRae and another private federal prison in Georgia showed "a record of violations of constitutional and Bureau of Prisons standards governing the medical treatment of prisoners" and other issues. McRae is known as a "criminal alien requirement" (CAR) prison, meaning that it houses only aliens who will face deportation once they complete their sentences.
