How can I tell whether someone is at the Baker County jail?
ICE's listing of this sheriff's site says nothing about how many people it holds or who they are. Use ice.gov/locator with the A-number and country of birth; it covers only people now detained by ICE. For information, ICE gives (904) 288-4600, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. ICE labels that the main phone but also calls it the Jacksonville ICE office, so it may not reach the jail. The jail's detention lobby is (904) 259-3311, 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. ICE's facility page lists its field office at (407) 440-5100; the office list's Miramar entry is (954) 843-5800. Our directory covers other Florida sites.
Can family visit in person, or only by video?
As read October 31, 2026, ICE's page, marked updated August 6, 2026, says all friends and family visits are virtual through HomeWAV and that facility staff monitor them, so do not plan a drive to MacClenny for a visit. You create an account at homewav.com. ICE gives a 20-minute length only for attorney video sessions, so check family visit length in HomeWAV. Support is at (844) 394-6639 every day of the year, weekdays 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and weekends and holidays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Central time. No price is shown; refunds go to refunds@homewav.com. Keep case details out.
What happens to letters sent to Baker County?
Mail here is not simply handed over. ICE says letters are inspected by the Mail Officer and then scanned to the person's HomeWAV account, picked up Monday through Friday. Address them to the person at 1 Sheriff's Office Drive, MacClenny, FL 32063, with your name and address; ICE's Baker page asks for the full name rather than A-number digits. It does not say what happens to paper originals, so do not send a document you cannot replace. If the person leaves or is transferred, ICE says all of their mail goes back to the sender.
How do I send money, messages or packages?
ICE says only certified checks and money orders may be mailed; personal checks and cash are refused. Funds go to processing and are receipted. Commissary and phone accounts are not covered, so ask the lobby. Urgent messages go to the detention lobby, (904) 259-3311, with the full name, A-number and your contact details, since incoming calls are not possible. Tablet messages run through homewav.com, although ICE's separate tablet page, updated March 23, 2026, names Securus for Baker County, so confirm which is current. Call the Property Room Deputy at the lobby number before sending a package.
Which court is listed for Baker County?
Orlando, not Jacksonville: EOIR's Administrative Control List, updated October 1, 2026, puts Baker County Detention Center in Macclenny under the Orlando Immigration Court, 500 N. Orange Avenue, Suite 1100, phone 407-244-8900. Baker Correctional Institution is a separate entry, so do not mix them up. Confirm the case itself with our hearing lookup guide. Attorney visits run weekdays 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and weekends and holidays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., up to 1 hour, booked at (904) 259-3311.
