Roughly 550 beds are for ICE detainees Nearly 1234 beds are for the Marshal Service and about 80 for the City of Mesa. In 2005, CCA contracted with the Alaska Department of Corrections to keep more than 30% of the state's inmates in FCC. Many of these Alaskans were detainees awaiting trial. Eventually this contract was finished. In 2017, the City of Mesa became the first city in Arizona to allow the private prison to house misdemeanor offenders. Of course this led to some backlash, but the city reassured citizens that this would in-fact save the city money. Approximately $2 Million per year. The city and CoreCivic agreed to 3 years. The prison is one of several state, federal and private prisons in Florence.
