The alien number is the most important piece of information on the envelope. It is unique to each detainee and is how the mailroom routes your letter correctly. Without it, mail can be delayed or returned, especially if the detainee has a common name.
Standard white envelopes with regular paper letters are accepted. Photographs are generally allowed at ICE detention facilities, but specific photo rules (size limits, content restrictions) can vary. Call (337) 599-2198 to confirm the current photo policy before sending photos.
Do not include any of the following:
Mail containing prohibited items will be confiscated. The detainee may also face consequences if contraband is found in their mail.
Books and packages are not automatically accepted. ICE detention facility policies on books and packages vary by facility and can change. Call (337) 599-2198 before shipping anything other than a standard letter or approved photos. If books are allowed, they typically must ship directly from a publisher or approved retailer such as Amazon, not from a personal address.
Legal mail, such as letters from attorneys or court documents, must be clearly marked on the outside of the envelope as Legal Mail or Confidential Legal Communication. Legal mail receives separate handling and is opened only in the presence of the detainee, not by mailroom staff alone.
Attorneys who need to send time-sensitive documents by fax can use the facility fax number: (337) 599-2167. Legal fax service is available Monday through Friday 8 AM to 4 PM, excluding holidays. See the visitation page for the full legal communication policy.
