Address, phone, inspections.","disclaimer":"General information, not legal advice. MigrantUSA is an independent publisher and is not a law firm. Always verify current details directly with the relevant agency before acting.","ero_field_office":"New Orleans Field Office","faqs":[{"answer":"It is a short-stay ICE facility at 96 George Thompson Drive, Alexandria, Louisiana 71303, run by the private company The GEO Group for ICE. ICE lists it as a staging facility; an ICE news release of September 10, 2026 describes a removal flown by ICE Air out of this facility, and GEO says the site sits next to the tarmac to facilitate access to the aircraft. A June 2025 PREA audit found that it temporarily holds adult men of high, medium and low custody levels who are scheduled for deportation, and that it does not hold juveniles or families.","question":"What is the Alexandria Staging Facility?"},{"answer":"Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System at locator.ice.gov/odls/, with the person’s A-number and country of birth, or their full name, country of birth and date of birth. As of September 26, 2026, GEO publishes no inmate roster, no online inmate search and no detainee-information phone line for this facility, and ICE has no facility page for it. GEO’s facility line is (318) 483-1600.","question":"How do I find out if someone is being held at the Alexandria Staging Facility?"},{"answer":"GEO says it provides in-person and virtual (video) visitation for both family and legal visits. As of September 26, 2026, GEO publishes no visiting days, hours, scheduling method, video vendor, ID requirement or dress code for this facility, so those details have to be confirmed with the facility before a trip.","question":"Can I visit someone at the Alexandria Staging Facility?"},{"answer":"Stays are short. The June 2025 PREA audit reported an average stay of seven days and 33,964 people booked in over the preceding 12 months. ICE’s fiscal year 2026 detention statistics also show an average stay of only a few days.","question":"How long do people stay at the Alexandria Staging Facility?"},{"answer":"As of September 26, 2026, neither GEO nor ICE publishes a deposit method, commissary vendor, mailing-address format or mail rules for this facility. ICE’s general rules for detainee accounts and mail are summarized on the MigrantUSA page on sending money to someone in ICE detention.","question":"How do I send money or mail to someone at the Alexandria Staging Facility?"},{"answer":"ICE’s Office of Detention Oversight found the facility compliant with 9 of 10 standards in an August 27 to 29, 2024 special review, with the deficiencies in Use of Force and Restraints. A DHS PREA audit on June 24 to 26, 2025 found 35 standards met, 2 exceeded and 2 not met; the auditor found both corrected on December 3, 2025. In its most recent posted review, on February 25 to 27, 2025, ODO found the facility compliant with all 10 standards reviewed, cited no deficiencies, and rated it Superior.","question":"What have ICE inspections found at the Alexandria Staging Facility?"}],"generated":"2026-10-20","isBasedOn":"https://www.ice.gov/doclib/foia/odo-compliance-inspections/alexandriaStagingFac_AlexandriaLA_Sep25-29_2023.pdf","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Alexandria Staging Facility","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://www.ice.gov/doclib/foia/odo-compliance-inspections/alexandriaStagingFac_AlexandriaLA_Sep25-29_2023.pdf","https://www.geogroup.com/facilities/alexandria-staging-facility/","https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ice-marks-100000th-removal-fiscal-year-2026-louisiana-0","https://www.ice.gov/doclib/foia/prea_audit/AlexandriaStagingFacility_Jun24-26_2025.pdf","https://www.ice.gov/doclib/foia/odo-compliance-inspections/alexandriaStagingFac_AlexandriaLA_Aug27-29_2024.pdf","https://www.ice.gov/doclib/foia/odo-compliance-inspections/AlexandriaStagingFacility_AlexandriaLA_Feb25-27_2025.pdf","https://www.ice.gov/node/66093","https://locator.ice.gov/odls/","https://www.ice.gov/doclib/detention/FY26_detentionStats07202026.xlsx","https://www.ice.gov/foia/odo-facility-inspections"],"state":"LA","statistics":{"average_daily_population":391,"average_length_of_stay_days":2.5,"fiscal_year":2026,"note":"ADP = average daily population; ALOS = average length of stay.
