The Sheriff's department is at the "law enforcement center". They contract beds to the feds. I don't know how many, but about half the beds are used by the feds.
Okay, those are probably INS beds. Or ICE. Or CBP. Or whatever the heck alphabet agency is now in charge of illegal immigrants.

I don't know that this company actually operates any prison facilities. I haven't heard their name, and I do stay current on this issue.

Kev, here's the link to the Ector County Sheriff.

You might be able to make more sense of it.
It's a newer facility, and they sub-contract the detention center out.
They have a lot of clients in there from the US Marshall's.

The old jail downtown is now a state level women's prison.

We have a full blown ICE detention in Big Spring.
I used to keep up with this stuff when i was a counselor, but i've been out of it over 10 years now.

+1 on this method - especially under the described circumstances. They have an exclusive contract with DPS to do them for $9.95 per person - and are (supposedly) to be held to a 98% or better axxeptance rate. Once Identix got the kinks worked out of initial set-up and training their people in Dallas, Ft. Worth and McKinney, all of my students have reported back with positive results.
That's good to hear. They were real new here, and i would not send my wife over there for her prints. Sent her to the Sheriff's dept. instead.

They also operate prison facilities for the feds, so they run a lot of prints through there and they are very good.
They catch the smallest mistakes generally and patch them over immediately for a reprint.
