Prairie Correctional Facility in Appleton, Minnesota, Will Be Used by ICE, Company Confirms
CoreCivic said the five-year deal could bring about $75 million a year as the idle facility prepares to house detainees by year-end.
- CoreCivic secured a five-year contract with Immigration and Customs Enforcement to reopen the Prairie Correctional Facility in Appleton, Minnesota, as a 1,600-bed detention center, according to a news release Tuesday.
- Idle since 2010, the facility underwent approximately $1 million in renovations starting last fall after rumors emerged when The Washington Post revealed ICE's expansion plans last year.
- The detention center is estimated to generate approximately $75 million in annual revenue from fixed monthly payments and per diem allotments, with operations expected to be fully operational by mid-2027.
- CoreCivic Chief Executive Officer Patrick Swindle said the company invested to ensure "an efficient reactivation" and expects to begin receiving detainees by the end of this year.
- Local advocacy groups including Indivisible Twin Cities began hosting weekly protests this month in Appleton, citing concerns over detention conditions and deaths at other CoreCivic-operated facilities.
