South Louisiana ICE Processing Center (previously South Louisiana Correctional Facility) is a privately owned and operated prison facility located on the eastern edge of Basile in Acadia Parish, Louisiana. The facility was opened in 1993 by the private prison company ^[1] and is currently owned and operated by The GEO Group, Inc.^[2] It has a capacity of 1,000.

The facility previously housed inmates for Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, housing both male and females at a mix of minimum, medium, and maximum security, with a capacity of 1,048. In April 2019, GEO announced the signing of a contract modification with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the reactivation of the facility^[3] to house male and female ICE detainees awaiting immigration court hearings and deportation.

In July and August 2009, a hundred ICE inmates in Basile staged a series of five hunger strikes to protest substandard conditions and lack of appropriate medical care.^[4][5]
