DRO is the division that deals directly with the detention of immigrants. DRO, under ICE, operates eight detention centers, termed “Service Processing Centers,” in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, Batavia, New York, El Centro, California, El Paso, Texas, Florence, Arizona, Miami, Florida, Los Fresnos, Texas, and San Pedro, California. ICE also has contracts with seven private companies that run facilities in Aurora, Colorado, Houston, Texas, Laredo, Texas, Seattle, Washington, Elizabeth, New Jersey, Queens, New York, and San Diego, California. Other facilities that house immigrant detainees include juvenile detention centers and shelters. However, the majority of immigrants are detained in state and local jails, which have contracts with ICE. At the end of the 2007 fiscal year the United States’ immigration detention system comprised 961 sites.[7] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_detention_in_the_United_States My bad... its 961 as of the end of 2007. Three years later... dont know how many more were built. Thats still less than 31 per site.
