Reeves County Detention Complex : ウィキペディア英語版 | Reeves County Detention Complex Reeves County Detention Complex is a privately operated immigration detention facility, located about 3 miles southwest of Pecos in Reeves County, Texas. The complex is operated by the GEO Group. With a combined capacity of 3,763 prisoners in its three sub-complexes,〔http://www.geogroup.com/documents/geo_2012_annual_report.pdf page 12〕 it has been called the largest private prison in the world.〔http://www.fwweekly.com/2010/03/10/private-prisons-public-pain/〕 The GEO Group houses prisoners at this facility under contract with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Arizona Department of Corrections. Most prisoners at the complex are low-security criminal aliens, serving sentences of one to five years for drug offenses or immigration violations. They face deportation when released.〔http://www.texasobserver.org/the-pecos-insurrection/〕 Two significant riots (on December 12 through 13 2008, and January 31 through February 5, 2009) were apparent protests of substandard medical care and other issues. Between August 2008 and March 2009 five men died in the complex, most notably an epileptic Mexican citizen named Jesus Manuel Galindo who was denied treatment despite repeated pleas.〔http://www.aclutx.org/2010/12/08/aclu-of-texas-sues-on-behalf-of-immigrant-inmate-who-died-in-solitary-confinement-in-pecos-prison/〕 In May 2013, ''Mother Jones'' magazine ranked the complex as one of the ten worst prisons in the United States, citing the high number of prisoners in long-term isolation units.〔http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/05/americas-10-worst-prisons-reeves-county-detention-complex〕 == References ==
