Cibola County Correctional Center is a privately owned minimum-security prison for men, located at 2000 Cibola Loop in Milan, Cibola County, New Mexico. The facility first opened in 1993 as a county prison with capacity to house state prisoners, and was then acquired and expanded by the Corrections Corporation of America in 1998.[1] It has a capacity of 1129 inmates, and houses federal minimum-security prisoners under a contract with the United States Federal Bureau of Prisons[2] and the United States Marshal Service.[3]
As of June 2002, 95% of prisoners in Cibola County were undocumented Mexican nationals.[4]
Almost 700 Cibola County inmates staged a non-violent protest of prison conditions on April 23, 2001 and were tear-gassed.[5] In March 2013 about 250 inmates staged another non-violent protest, which was resolved peacefully. Prison officials declined to reveal the reason for the protest.[6]
