• Visitors must arrive no later than 6:30 p.m. to be guaranteed a visit.
• All visitors must have a U.S., State or Federal, issued identification document, or foreign passport with a valid U.S. visa to be admitted.
• Only three visitors will be allowed in at one time unless prior approval by the Facility Administrator (exception, a baby in adult arms will not be counted as a visitor).
• Minors who are visiting the facility must be accompanied by an adult guardian (18 years or older). Minors must not be left unaccompanied in the waiting room, visiting room or any other area.

Letters sent to detainees must include the last four (4) numbers of detainee's “A”-number (Alien Number), the housing unit/dorm/bunk number, and the sender's name and address. To enhance the safety of the facility, all incoming mail is subject to screening for contraband. The mail is not read upon opening, only inspected by the delivering officer. Detainees may send mail from the facility. Detainees may seal their outgoing letters and place them in the provided receptacle. All incoming mail will be delivered to the detainee, and outgoing mail will be routed to the proper postal office within 24 hours of receipt by facility staff. A mail pick-up and delivery schedule is posted in all housing units. The mail clerk will distribute mail to the housing units Monday-Friday (excluding weekends and holidays).
Letters should be addressed as follows:
Detainee Name
Alien Number (last 4 digits only – A1234), Housing Unit/Dorm/Bunk Number
10250 Rancho Road

Detainees may purchase stamps for use. Generally, there is no limit to the amount of correspondence detainees may send at their own expense. Detainees who have no means of financial support and no funds in their facility account will be provided postage allowance at government expense.
When detainees depart the facility or are transferred to another facility, only their legal mail will be forwarded to them. General correspondence will be endorsed "Return to Sender" and returned to the post office.
If detainees receive funds in the mail, they will be taken to the processing area for the money to be placed into their account. The processing officer will provide a receipt for all funds received. Detainees are cautioned not to have cash sent to them through the mail.
A detainee may receive items that are determined to be of necessity for the sole purpose of travel or release from agency custody with approval of the ICE Deportation Officer. Before sending packages to detainees, contact the assigned ICE Deportation Officer at the facility at:
