ICE's full visiting rules
Monday through Friday
9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
All visits are thirty (30) minutes in duration. Detainees are limited to two (2) on-site visits per week on separate days. Remote visits are unlimited during the allotted times stated above. Visitation may be cancelled in cases of severe weather or other incidents. There are no make-up days allowed.
All visits will be completed via video visitation whether remotely or on-site. Visitors must visit the Securus website to create an online account at least twenty-four (24) business hours prior to the planned first scheduled visit and to schedule all future visits. The Securus website provides all necessary information including fees. Visitors are required to upload a valid government photo ID. All visitors are prescreened for approval or denial and will receive an email notification to the email address provided on Securus accounts.
Remote visitors are required to be logged on to the visit within three (3) minutes of the visitation start time. Failure to do so will result in the visit being forfeited and a refund will not be provided. Both the detainee and visitor are required to maintain facial recognition at the start and for the duration of the video visitation. Any significant movement from either the detainee or visitor will cause the visitation to automatically terminate without warning. Once the system terminates, the visitation is unable to re-start.
On-site visitors may enter through the SCC Reception entrance and must be prepared to enter the visitation room at the start of the visitation time thirty (30) minutes prior to the start of the scheduled visitation. Visitors should register in advance of arriving at the SCC unless they are unable to do so. All visitors must present a valid photo identification card upon arrival. No more than two (2) visitors are allowed to visit at one time, excluding accommodations made for minor visitors, with a maximum of five (5) visitors each visiting period.

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
