How to find someone held here
The ICE Online Detainee Locator System is the ICE lookup resource. As of October 23, 2026, ICE’s archived page is the only published source; GEO’s facility page was not accessible, so no separate operator inmate search could be checked.
Visiting
Historical instructions only. ICE marks its facility page as archived and “not reflective of current practice.” Its published schedule lists Male Detainee Population: Monday – Thursday, 12:30 p.m. – 4:25 p.m., and Female Detainee Population: Friday (Only), 12:30 p.m. – 4:25 p.m. These are archived schedules, not a verified current visiting timetable.
The archived page requires arrival 15 minutes before the scheduled visit and a valid, verifiable, non-expired government-issued picture identification card. It limits visits to 30 minutes unless otherwise approved by the Facility Administrator or designee.
Money, phone calls and mail
ICE’s archived facility page says mailed funds are placed in the detainee’s account in the processing area and that the processing officer provides a receipt for all funds received; it cautions detainees not to have cash sent in the mail. It requires letters to include the detainee’s A-number (File Number), plus the sender’s name and address. As of October 23, 2026, ICE’s archived page is the only published source for these instructions; GEO’s facility page was not accessible.
Oversight and inspections
ICE’s 2026 ODO report describes an inspection from December 31, 2025, to January 29, 2026, including a 2-day contingency inspection from January 27 to 28, 2026 due to inclement weather. ODO found no deficiencies and compliance with all 21 standards assessed under USMS FPBDS (May 2025). These findings describe that inspection period.
