ICE paid millions for empty detention beds in Georgia
By Lautaro Grinspan


In its report about Stewart, the Office of the Inspector recommended ICE “review and update” its contract with CoreCivic and determine whether guaranteed minimums are necessary. ICE’s response to that suggestion, included in the report, stated that capacity was reduced during inspectors’ visit because of COVID-related measures, and that it was “currently in the process of moving [Stewart’s] capacity back to pre-pandemic levels and working toward meeting its guaranteed minimum.” But as of Sept. 24, Stewart’s average daily population has only gone up to 1,224, still short of the 1,600 guaranteed minimum. That’s according to Syracuse University’s Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC).
