This facility is adjacent to two other private prison sites: the Willacy County Correctional Center , closed in 2015, and the Willacy County Regional Detention Center , both operated by MTC for the federal government.[3]
This facility was first opened by Wackenhut, now GEO Group , in 1996. On April 26, 2001 inmate Gregorio De La Rosa, Jr. was beaten to death by other prisoners. This incident caused a $42.5 million civil settlement against Wackenhut.[4]
