It houses both male and female immigration detainees at a mix of minimum and medium security levels.
ICE's internal Office of Detention Oversight investigated the death of Eloy detainee Manuel Cota-Domingo in 2012, and found serious issues with the quality of medical care provided by CCA. The facility had 15 detainee deaths between 2003 and late 2016, including five suicides. Since 2003, Eloy alone represented 9% of the total inmate deaths in all 250 detention facilities in the United States.
Eloy is adjacent to three other prisons also run by CCA: the Red Rock Correctional Center, the La Palma Correctional Facility, and the Saguaro Correctional Center.
