Adelanto Detention Facility is a privately operated immigration detention center[1] in Adelanto, San Bernardino County, California. Owned and operated by the GEO Group, it consists of two separate facilities: East, which was an existing prison purchased in June 2010 from the City of Adelanto with a capacity of about 600 inmates, and the newly built West expansion completed in August 2012 with another 700 beds.[2] After an additional expansion in 2015, the facility's capacity houses up to 1,940 immigrant detainees of all classification levels, with an average stay of 30 days.[3][4][5]
