ANGOLA — Federal and state officials on Wednesday unveiled an immigrant detention center initially labeled "Camp 47," but when they showed it off to reporters the signage read "Camp 57," a possible tribute to Gov. Jeff Landry, Louisiana's 57th governor.

The prison camp, by whichever number is used, is a formerly shuttered part of the Angola prison that will house what Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials call "the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens."

Landry said there were 51 "criminal illegal aliens" as of Wednesday afternoon and that another 208 will be moved in by the end of September. Landry said that the former "Camp J," a dilapidated section of the Louisiana State Penitentiary, will house the incoming detainees.

"This camp was renovated and will be operated at a fraction of the cost of other camps around the nation," he said.

With the renovations, ICE Deputy Director Madison Sheahan said that there will be attorneys available, hearing rooms and a law library. 

Landry said that the facility will accept the "worst of the worst" criminals, but only males.

"We will take whatever ICE sends us as they go through their roster," he said.

An advisory from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday invited the media to witness the unveiling of "Camp 47." When reporters and photographers arrived Wednesday, a building behind a news conference site bore the label "Camp 57."

President Donald Trump is the nation's 47th chief executive. 

It wasn't immediately clear why the building bore a different number than the one federal officials listed in their Tuesday's notice to reporters.
