Visitation at the Northwest Detention Center

The Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington, is currently the third largest immigration detention facility in the United States. It takes about one hour to get to the facility from Seattle by car, and there is only infrequent bus in walking distance from the facility. This facility is owned and operated by GEO Group, a for-profit prison. People detained in ICE custody at this facility reported having their visits cut short. Family members and community visitors sometimes have to wait hours before they can see their friends and loved ones in the visitation room. All visitation is non-contact and happens behind a Plexiglas window and through a phone. In January 2013, CIVIC visited the Northwest Detention Center with 20 community volunteers. CIVIC trained 40 new visitor volunteers, and CIVIC is excited to welcome this new community visitation program into the national immigration detention visitation movement! This new visitation program at the Northwest Detention Center is a project of the Northwest Detention Center Roundtable and coordinated by volunteers, Pat Gunn and Barbara Peterman.
