The Willacy County State Jail is a medium-security prison for men located in Raymondville, Willacy County, Texas, operated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.[1][2] It has an official capacity of 1,069 inmates.[2]
This facility is adjacent to two other private prison sites: the Willacy County Correctional Center, closed in 2015, and the Willacy County Regional Detention Center, both operated by MTC for the federal government.[3]
This facility was first opened by Wackenhut, now GEO Group, in 1996. On April 26, 2001 inmate Gregorio De La Rosa, Jr. was beaten to death by other prisoners. This incident caused a $42.5 million civil settlement against Wackenhut.[4]
