Peumansend Creek Regional Jail, now known as the Caroline Detention Facility, has entered into an agreement with the United States Department of Homeland Security to house adult male and female immigrants who have illegally entered the United States. The facility's primary purpose is to ensure the presence of detainees during their administrative hearing process and for their removal from the country. With a focus on providing a safe and modern environment for detainees, the Caroline Detention Facility aims to reinstate up to 120 jobs within the county and prevent the facility from being used for other purposes that could have a negative impact. The facility emphasizes the importance of family communication and visitation to support inmates during their time in detention.Generated from the website
