Facility quick reference

How to locate or contact a detainee

ICE’s Online Detainee Locator at locator.ice.gov searches by the person’s A-number and country of birth; ICE also lists the Saipan ERO Sub-Office at (670) 237-6000 (8 a.m.–4 p.m.) for detainee information. When calling (670) 237-6000, ICE asks callers to have the person’s first, last and hyphenated names, any aliases, date of birth and country of birth ready. Detainees cannot receive incoming calls. For an urgent message, ICE lists (670) 237-2700 and asks callers to leave the detainee’s full name, alien registration number, and their own name and a phone number where they can be reached; ICE says the detainee will be given the message (checked October 16, 2026).

Booking legal visits, video calls, and legal calls

• G-28s can be submitted through ERO eFile. Facility staff do not have access to ERO eFile at this time, so ICE says legal representatives should download copies of their submitted G-28 for any in-person or remote legal visit.
• Legal calls: legal service providers request them through the CNMI DOC facility at (670) 237-2700. As of October 16, 2026, ICE’s page for this facility does not describe a video-teleconference (VTC) booking procedure.

ICE asks that the subject line make clear it is legal correspondence/mail, with the documents attached and a cover sheet giving the detainee’s full name, A-number, the sender’s return fax number, the total number of pages, and the notation “Legal Mail.” The documents are inspected for contraband but not read, then delivered. Requests are processed Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. ChST, excluding holidays.
• Other electronic exchange: when timely communication by mail is not possible, the facility administrator may, at his discretion, allow a reasonable amount of electronic written communication between the detainee and the designated legal representative.

Medical care under the CNMI corrections regulations

The Commonwealth regulations, written for prisoners in Division of Corrections custody, state the following (checked October 17, 2026):

• A release physical examination is required only for prisoners incarcerated for more than three months.
• Each administration of medication is entered in the prisoner’s file, recording the time, date, amount and person who administered it.
• Medication is used only to treat specific illness and is taken in front of the staff administering it.

Phones and daily routine under the CNMI corrections regulations

The Commonwealth’s own rules for its correctional facility, NMIAC subchapter 57-20.1, “Inmates and Correctional Facility Rules and Regulations”, adopted October 15, 1991 (Commonwealth Law Revision Commission text dated September 28, 2021; checked October 17, 2026), are written for prisoners of the Division of Corrections. They say:

• Phones (§ 57-20.1-1601): telephones are available to prisoners “on a free and equal basis” for local calls during normal Commonwealth working hours, under a guard’s supervision, so long as the call does not present a threat to the security of the prison. Calls to the inmate’s legal counsel get priority access to the phones.
• Emergency calls (§ 57-20.1-1610): prisoners may send and receive calls of reasonable length in emergencies such as the death, critical illness or accident of a family member, without regard to position in the classification system.
• Ending a call (§ 57-20.1-1605): a guard may end a call when behavior in violation of the law, or of the Division of Corrections’ rules, is committed or planned over the phone.
• Barber (§ 57-20.1-320): prisoners have access to barber services at least once per month, and the Chief of the Division of Corrections may require head and facial hair to be trimmed.
• Showers: the duty officer limits use of the shower room to 10 minutes per prisoner.
• Property (§ 57-20.1-401, -405, -410): possessions are allowed only with the approval of the Chief of Corrections or his designee; items kept in a cell are limited to what can be stored in plain sight on the shelves provided; each prisoner is assigned a locker that can be secured and is subject to search without notice at any time.

Mail and money

Letters must show the detainee’s full name and the last four digits of the A-number, plus the sender’s name and address, and be addressed to P.O. Box 506506, Susupe, Saipan, MP 96950. ICE lists these as restricted through the mail: packages, obscene or pornographic materials, personal checks, cashier’s checks, postage stamps or stamped envelopes, any type of food, and periodicals not sent directly from the publisher (checked October 16, 2026). The one exception ICE gives for packages is items needed solely for travel or release from custody, with the ICE Deportation Officer’s approval (see below). Money can be put on an account by calling (670) 237-2700 or by money order sent by mail (see below).
