Buffalo Contract Detention Facility

Batavia Contract Detention Facility picture

About our facility

Open since March 1998, the Buffalo Federal Detention Facility has a capacity of 666 beds, housing adult males only. The Buffalo site is unique for being the first and only cooperative effort between two federal agencies: the U.S. Marshals Service and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, housing detainees under the jurisdiction of each agency in the same facility. Using a correctional model based on direct supervision, the detainees are continuously supervised throughout their daily activities, providing an optimal level of safety and security for both staff and residents.

Our Location

The town of Jena is the seat of La Salle Parish in the U.S state of Louisiana. Its population was 2,971 at the 2000 census. There is a rich diversity of peoples in Louisiana. They include the original Indian inhabitants, plus the descendants of a variety of settlers, among who were the French, Spanish, English, German, Acadians, West Indians, Africans, Irish and Italians and now include almost every nationality on earth.

Places to go, People to see

Louisiana has a rhythm all its own-a suite of jazz riffs, zydeco swing, cajun and gospel harmonies. The intoxicating perfume of the magnolias blends with gumbo spices and the harmonies of nature so your senses come alive with a new zest for life, a "joie de vivre" (joy of living) that Louisiana embraces and you will, too. We are excited about the future of Jena! If you are dedicated professional searching for a challenging team oriented environment, we welcome you to consider Jena as a destination. Come grow with us!
