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":"Miami Field Office","faqs":[{"answer":"No. Baker Correctional Institution is the state-operated site in Sanderson, Florida, at 20706 US Highway 90 West, that the State of Florida calls the Deportation Depot. The Baker County Detention Center is a different facility in Macclenny, Florida, at 1 Sheriff’s Office Drive, with its own ICE facility page. The contacts, visiting system and attorney rules that ICE publishes for the Macclenny facility do not apply to Baker Correctional Institution.","question":"Is Baker Correctional Institution the same as the Baker County Detention Center?"},{"answer":"The State of Florida. A DHS Office of Inspector General report dated September 11, 2026 (OIG-26-22) describes Baker as a state-operated detention facility that opened in September 2025, and ICE’s FY2026 detention statistics list it as a state facility. Governor Ron DeSantis announced the site on August 14, 2025. The sources we checked do not name the state agency that runs it day to day.","question":"Who runs Baker Correctional Institution?"},{"answer":"Start with the ICE Online Detainee Locator System at locator.ice.gov, searching by A-number and country of birth, or by name, country of birth and date of birth. As of September 26, 2026, we found no state inmate search and no published family information line for people held at Baker for immigration purposes.","question":"How do I find someone held at Baker Correctional Institution?"},{"answer":"As of September 26, 2026, we found no published visiting, deposit, phone or mail rules for people held at Baker for immigration purposes, from either the State of Florida or ICE. Rules published for the Baker County Detention Center in Macclenny belong to that jail, not to Baker Correctional Institution.","question":"Can I visit or send money to someone at Baker Correctional Institution?"},{"answer":"No, according to the DHS Office of Inspector General. Its September 11, 2026 report says Baker has not been internally inspected by ICE’s Office of Detention Oversight and was not scheduled for inspection in FY 2026 or FY 2027, and that ICE’s own documentation lists the contractually obligated detention standards for Baker as N/A.","question":"Has ICE’s Office of Detention Oversight inspected Baker Correctional Institution?"}],"generated":"2026-09-26","isBasedOn":"https://www.flgov.com/eog/news/press/2025/governor-ron-desantis-announces-expansion-floridas-capacity-detain-and-deport","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Baker Correctional Institution (Deportation Depot)","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://www.flgov.com/eog/news/press/2025/governor-ron-desantis-announces-expansion-floridas-capacity-detain-and-deport","https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2026-09/OIG-26-22-Sep26.pdf","https://www.fdle.state.fl.us/getContentAsset/93194699-a47c-4a62-96f1-323ec6b4818f/73aabf56-e6e5-4330-95a3-5f2a270a1d2b/Correctional-Facilities-Directory-PDF.pdf?language=en","https://www.ice.gov/detain/detention-facilities/baker-county-facility","https://www.ice.gov/foia/odo-facility-inspections","https://www.justice.gov/eoir/immigration-court-administrative-control-list","https://www.ice.gov/detain/detainee-death-reporting","https://www.ice.gov/doclib/detention/FY26_detentionStats07202026.xlsx","https://locator.ice.gov/odls/"],"state":"FL","statistics":{"average_daily_population":963,"average_length_of_stay_days":27.8,"fiscal_year":2026,"note":"ADP = average daily population; ALOS = average length of stay.
