What federal or state documents show property ownership or lease arrangements for Delaney Hall (Newark) and California City facilities?
Executive summary
A review of the supplied reporting finds descriptive listings and contact details for Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, and municipal public-records guidance for Newark, California, but no direct federal or state documents in this package that disclose property ownership titles or lease contracts for Delaney Hall or for any “California City” detention facilities (the reporting does not include lease or deed records) [1] [2] [3]. The available material points to where authoritative records would live — county assessor and recorder offices, ICE/federal contracting databases, and municipal public‑records requests — but the specific ownership or lease documents themselves are not part of the provided sources [3] [4].
1. What the reporting actually documents about Delaney Hall
Multiple facility directories and detention‑focused listings in the provided reporting establish Delaney Hall’s street location at 451 Doremus Avenue in Newark and identify it as an active detention facility with connections to ICE and private operator arrangements referenced in public directories [2] [1] [5] [6]. These sources supply addresses, phone numbers and characterizations of operations (medium security, ICE involvement, co‑management references) but do not include deed records, county parcel data, state contracts, or federal lease/contract documents that would legally evidence who owns or leases the underlying property [1] [6] [5].
2. What the reporting shows about “California City” or Newark, California, records access
The bundle includes Newark, California’s municipal public‑records guidance, which explains how to make California Public Records Act requests to the city clerk and where records are available for inspection at David W. Smith City Hall — useful procedural information for obtaining municipal records — but it does not itself present county assessor or property‑title documents for any detention or municipal facility in California City or Newark [3] [7] [8] [9]. In short, the provided Newark, CA pages tell a researcher how to ask for records (email, phone, in‑person) but do not contain ownership or lease contracts [3].
3. Where legally probative documents would normally be found (based on the reporting’s hints)
Conclusive proof of ownership or lease arrangements typically comes from county recorder/assessor property records, municipal lease files, and — when a federal agency is involved — federal contract repositories or ICE/Bureau of Prisons contract disclosures; the supplied material points researchers toward those channels (county property search portals and Newark’s PRA process) but does not supply the documents themselves [4] [3]. The Detention‑site directories and ICE/contractor references in the reporting imply an operational relationship that could be memorialized in state or federal contracts, but the actual contracts or deeds are absent from the sources provided here [6] [1].
4. Limits of the supplied reporting and immediate next steps to obtain documents
The document set reviewed contains addresses, facility directory entries and instructions for requesting municipal records, but it lacks chain‑of‑title deeds, county parcel records, state contractual agreements, or federal lease/contract documents that would definitively show ownership or leasing arrangements for Delaney Hall or any California City facility; therefore, a records request to the relevant county recorder/assessor and formal Public Records Act or Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests to the contracting federal agency (e.g., ICE or the Bureau of Prisons) are the logical next steps — the municipal PRA page in Newark, CA shows the procedural route for city records requests but does not substitute for the actual legal instruments [3] [4]. The reporting’s silence on actual deeds or contracts is the key limitation: the pieces that would answer the question directly are not present in the supplied sources [1] [6].
5. Bottom line
The supplied reporting documents where the facilities are located and how to request municipal records, and it flags agency/operator ties for Delaney Hall, but it does not include any federal or state documents — deeds, county title records, state contracts, or federal lease/contract entries — that explicitly show property ownership or formal lease arrangements for Delaney Hall (Newark) or for facilities in California City; obtaining those documents will require targeted requests to county recorder/assessor offices and to the appropriate federal/state contracting authorities [2] [1] [3] [4].
