About Us

About Our Project

The Detention Record Project is an independent archive documenting the human reality of ICE detention in the United States.

Facility data is sourced directly from ICE’s own published records, covering active facilities and some historical facilities included in ICE’s data since January 2026.

The archive lets you browse all ICE detention facilities, filter by location, type, and capacity, and view a facility’s statistics alongside any stories, documents, and records that have been submitted about it.

If you have a story, document, video, or other record to contribute, help us build the archive – every submission matters and is anonymous unless you request otherwise. Use the “Submit Story” button to get started.
