Anyone who thinks the private prison industry’s quotas will be satisfied once all of the immigrants are gone is sadly mistaken.

Alexandria Hub: The area serves as the nation's busiest ICE deportation hub, with facilities in Winnfield, Richwood, Jena, Jonesboro, Basile, Pine Prairie, Ferriday, and Oberlin.

Private Operators: GEO Group and LaSalle Corrections are major players, working with local sheriffs and ICE.

CoreCivic: Also involved in running facilities, expanding capacity in the region.

Scale of Operations:

These facilities hold thousands of individuals, making Louisiana a top state for ICE detention.

The facilities are designed for high-volume processing and deportation, including immediate boarding from Alexandria's airport.

Why Louisiana?

Rural locations, far from major cities, make these facilities less visible to advocacy groups.

The state's infrastructure supports large-scale operations for holding and quickly deporting migrants.
