Stewart Detention Center operates as a private prison managed by CoreCivic through a contract with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Its primary function revolves around the housing of immigrant detainees awaiting immigration proceedings or deportation. Boasting an official capacity of 1752 inmates, Stewart Detention has earned recognition as the largest and busiest facility of its kind in the United States.

This revenue stream amounts to more than half of the County's entire annual budget, signifying the county's reliance on the operation of the detention center for its economic stability.

Despite its economic importance, SDC has been the subject of scrutiny and criticism from advocacy groups and civil rights organizations. In 2012, the Detention Watch Network identified Stewart as one of ten ICE facilities slated for closure due to various issues, including the death of inmate Roberto Medina-Martinez in March 2009, allegedly due to medical neglect. This incident, along with others, has raised concerns regarding the conditions and treatment of detainees within the facility.
