Gainesville City Council gave the go-ahead Thursday to fill more beds at the private detention facility in midtown Gainesville. Corrections Corp. of America is seeking to modify its agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to allow it to begin housing people in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. Council placed the item on its consent agenda for Tuesday’s meeting.
