ICE’s fiscal year 2026 detention statistics show an average stay of only a few days, longer than the 72-hour figure in the inspection report. A person found here may be transferred soon, so recheck the ICE detainee locator.","question":"How long does ICE hold people at the Pickens County Detention Center?"},{"answer":"Search the ICE Online Detainee Locator System at locator.ice.gov/odls/ with the person’s A-number and country of birth, or with their name, country of birth and date of birth. The Pickens County Sheriff’s Office also posts an online roster of current inmates and people released in the last 48 hours, but it does not say whether ICE detainees appear in it.

Visiting hours are Monday to Friday, except holidays and court days, 9 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m.; each inmate gets 2 visits a month of 30 minutes, with no physical contact. Visitors must give their Social Security Number beforehand, pass a background check, and cannot have ever been incarcerated in a prison or detention facility.","question":"How do visits work at the Pickens County Detention Center?"},{"answer":"The jail accepts pre-stamped postcards only, not regular letters or envelopes. Inmates cannot receive incoming phone calls. They can call out collect or through a prepaid account with Securus Technologies, set up at 1-800-844-6591 or securustech.net, and calls are limited to 15 minutes and recorded.","question":"Can I send letters or call someone at the Pickens County Detention Center?"},{"answer":"ICE’s Office of Detention Oversight inspected the jail from April 21 to May 21, 2026, with one day on site on May 19, and rated it Superior.
