Federal officials are considering converting the shuttered FCI Dublin into an immigrant detention center due to a growing need for space. ICE has been exploring options for housing detainees as enforcement increases. Union leaders indicated a recent visit by ICE representatives. The facility closed last year after severe sexual misconduct scandals involving prison officials led to several convictions. Despite improvements, the BOP is still addressing issues of culture and employee misconduct as they evaluate the future of FCI Dublin.
"The administration's push for what they want, it will require a lot of bed space. And when I say bed space, I'm talking about detention center bed spaces for detainees. And they don't have it."
"Over the past several years at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Dublin, the Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) has taken unprecedented steps and provided a tremendous amount of resources to address culture, recruitment and retention, aging infrastructure - and most critical - employee misconduct."
