ICE's rules for mail, packages and money
Letters sent to detainees must include the detainee’s full name, plus 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 Mail Officer before being scanned to the detainee’s Homewav account for them to read on the kiosk or tablet. Detainees may send mail from the facility. Incoming mail will be picked up by the Mail Officer once a day, Monday through Friday. All incoming mail will be scanned to the detainee’s Homewav account for them to read on the kiosk or tablet. 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.
Detainees are allowed to purchase stamps for use. Generally, there is no limit to the amount of correspondence detainees may send at their own expense. Indigent detainees (those 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, all of their mail will be returned to the sender.
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 may not receive personal checks or cash in the mail, only certified checks and money orders may be sent to detainees via 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, as well as the detentions administrative staff.
Before sending packages to detainees, contact the Property Room Deputy at the facility at:
(904) 259 3311
1 Sherriff’s Office Drive
MacClenny, FL 32063
Note that detainees being removed from the United States are allowed one small piece of luggage. If a detainee does not have such baggage, such luggage may be mailed to the facility via the Post Office, after receiving approval from the Supervisory Deportation Officer. Please be advised that for security reasons, no electronic devices (electric razors, laptop computers, radios, etc.), knives, lighters, or drug paraphernalia will be accepted.
Free legal helpThe government's list of free legal service providers is organized by immigration court (for this facility, look under Orlando, FL immigration court): EOIR pro bono list. Search nonprofit legal services near you: National Immigration Legal Services Directory.
From inside, people held can call the Freedom for Immigrants hotline for free by dialing 9233#.
Court caseCheck a case by A-number with EOIR's Automated Case Information or by phone at 1-800-898-7180.
Avoid scams. ICE never takes bond payments by gift card, Zelle or cash app. A "notario" or "immigration consultant" is not a lawyer; only lawyers and accredited representatives can give legal advice.

About these numbers

"Held per day" is the average number of people in custody here each day, computed from ICE's own individual records (names removed) that the Deportation Data Project obtained through FOIA litigation. They run through Aug 5, 2026. A stay counts the time at this facility only; people are often transferred. Shares and averages based on fewer than 10 people are not shown. How we count
