ICE Expands Colorado Detention Capacity With Hudson Facility Reopening

The GEO Group has signed a multiyear ICE contract to reopen the shuttered Hudson, Colorado prison as the Big Horn Contract Detention Center, adding up to 1,188 detainees and boosting Colorado’s federal detention capacity alongside the Aurora site; the five-year deal is worth up to $528.6 million, with GEO leasing from Highlands REIT and rent beginning later this year. Local officials say they lack detailed operational information and cannot block the plan, while advocates are planning protests.
