These maps show immigrants detained in January 2009. They are part of an interesting new study issued by the Migration Policy Institute. The first depicts the regional concentration of migrant detention in the South and Southwest, and the map on the right depicts type of facility. Some 70% of immigrant detention remains in city and county jails. Posting this from Athens, GA, there is a CCA facility in nearby Gainesville that is slated to open next to new ICE offices.
