Allen Parish Public Safety Complex — Sheriff-Operated ICE Facility
Allen, LA
FIPS 22003
165 beds
Bed capacity
Operator: Allen Parish Sheriff
Overview
A 165-bed facility constructed in 2015, located just beyond Oberlin town limits. Unlike most Louisiana ICE facilities, this one is sheriff-operated rather than run by a private prison company. The Allen Parish Sheriff’s Office contracts directly with DHS for ICE detainees.
Allen Parish scores 131 on the heatmap — the highest score of any Louisiana parish — with 5 signal types (6 IGSAs, 13 287(g) agreements, ANC contract, 2 facilities, budget distress). The concentration of 6 IGSAs for a small parish is notable and suggests multiple overlapping agreements.
