Description

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has reported that the number of noncitizens in immigration detention has increased from about 230,000 in FY 2005 to about 440,600 in FY 2013. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) applies various sets of detention standards -- such as medical services -- at over 250 facilities owned by ICE or private contractors, or owned by or contracted to state and local governments. This report examined differences in cost, standards, and oversight across types of facilities. It addresses the extent to which (1) ICE has processes to track costs; (2) standards vary across facility types and the reasons for any differences; and (3) oversight and the results of that oversight vary across facility types. Tables and figures. This is a print on demand report.
