The prison is owned by CoreCivic and operated by the New Mexico Corrections Department.[2] It opened in 1989 as the first privatized women's prison in the U.S.
In late 2015 state officials announced a plan to transfer all female inmates out of the facility, and to consolidate New Mexico's estimated population of 1200 sex offenders here.[3] In August 2016 it was renamed as Northwest New Mexico Correctional Center.[4]
