Bluebonnet Detention Center
The Bluebonnet Detention Center is a prison in Anson, Texas, operated by the Management and Training Corporation under contract for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The 1100-bed facility was built in 2010 to house Texas [Department of Criminal Justice] prisoners. Immediately after the prison was constructed, the state rescinded the contract, leaving $35 million in bonds unresolved. GEO Group was in discussions to buy the facility in 2017 to house ICE prisoners, but the deal fell through.
A five-year contract for $145 million was signed in 2019 to house ICE detainees by MTC. The contract pays $106 per day per detainee.
