by Department of Homeland Security
December 01, 2006
This report presents the results of our audit of compliance with selected detention standards at five
facilities used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to house immigration detainees:
1. Berks County Prison (BCP), Leesport, Pennsylvania
2. Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) Facility, San Diego, California
3. Hudson County Correction Center (HCCC), Kearny, New Jersey
4. Krome Service Processing Center (SPC), Miami, Florida
5. Passaic County Jail (PCJ), Paterson, New Jersey
We focused on detention standards regarding: (1) Health Care, (2) Environmental Health and Safety, (3) General Conditions of Confinement, and (4) Reporting of Abuse. We did not use
statistical sampling for our sample selections, and the results of our testing should not be projected to the detainee population or other facilities. Our report focuses on highlighting the specific areas
of non-compliance identified during the course of our audit.
