Oversight and inspections
ICE’s 2026 ODO report describes an inspection from May 22 to June 23, 2026, including an on-site visit on June 23, 2026. It applied USMS Federal Performance Based Detention Standards (FPBDS) (May 2025) and found no deficiencies.
The September 19 to 21, 2023 special review assessed 10 standards under NDS 2019 and found 60 deficiencies across 8 standards. ODO recommended increased oversight by ERO Salt Lake City and work with the facility to resolve deficiencies under its contractual obligations.
The July 23 to 25, 2024 report says ODO attempted a special review under NDS 2019, but the facility refused it. ODO marked all line items that would have been inspected deficient, assigned a “Failure” rating and recommended discontinuing use until the facility permitted and passed a full compliance inspection. As of October 23, 2026, the published report gives no numerical deficiency total for that refused review.
The 2024 report also recounts the 2023 deficiencies: Detainee Handbook (2); Environmental Health and Safety (25); Food Service (8); Hunger Strikes (1); Medical Care (16); Significant Self-Harm and Suicide Prevention and Intervention (3); Special Management Units (3); and Use of Force and Restraints (2). The 2026 findings concern a later inspection under different standards.
