CCA Leavenworth Detention Center
4th St. Trafficway, Leavenworth, Kansas
This prison, only five years old, is the only privately run correctional
facility to have a direct contract with the U.S. Government--in this
case the U.S. Marshals Service. It is the only exclusively maximum-security
institution run by a private company. The majority of those incarcerated
in this facility are federal prisoners from the Midwest, awaiting
trial, and once sentenced, awaiting transfer to a Bureau of Prisons
institution.
