    FACILITY INFORMATION

    Hardin County Correctional Center

    1116 14th Avenue, Eldora, IA 50627

    Hardin County owns and operates the facility. ICE began housing detainees there in 2002 under ERO St. Paul. It is not an ICE-owned detention center.

    Confirm the Person Is Still in Eldora

    Hardin County has a long history of ICE detention use, but current custody should always be verified before traveling.
