The Otero County Prison Facility is a privately managed prison for men located in Chaparral, Otero County, New Mexico, operated by the Management and Training Corporation.[1] The facility opened in 2008, and has a capacity of 1420.

Otero County is the owner of the facility. Clients include the state, which began sending about 300 sex offenders to the institution beginning in early 2013.[2] Most of the facility is dedicated to housing federal prisoners of the United States Marshals Service, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons.[3]

A 2011 ACLU report was highly critical of prison conditions in Otero County, access to legal resources, and the level of health care provided.[4]
