Prarieland Detention Center in Alvarado
Federal Prison | Johnson County County — Texas | U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
ICE is currently building a new Federal facility located in Alvarado Texas, a town of roughly 4,000 residents. The new facility built for the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement will cost an estimated $42 million and will provide jobs for up to 100 individuals in the sorounding area. The closest major city to this new detention facility will be Dallas which is about 40 miles north east if this location. The facility will be managed by Emerald Correctional Management, which is a private company. Prarieland Detention Center is scheduled to open and begin processing inmates in November 2016.
This will also be one of the first facilities to have a seperate housing unit for transgender inmates. Correctional officers assigned to this specific area will have specialized training so they will know how to respond to specific situations.
Many correctional facilities let families send books and magazines to an inmate — but almost all of them require the items to be brand-new and shipped directly from the retailer. Anything sent secondhand or repackaged at home is usually rejected at the mailroom. Ordering from a retailer that ships direct is the standard way to get reading material in.
- Must ship new, directly from the retailer — you can't forward it yourself.
- Softcover / paperback only at most facilities (hardcovers are commonly banned).
- No used or third-party marketplace sellers — new copies only.
- Limits on quantity per package and how many packages may be pending.
- Address it to the inmate's full committed name and ID number.
- Use the facility's mailroom address, which can differ from the public address.
