How do I confirm someone is at the Broome County jail?
Search ice.gov/locator by A-number or exact name and country of birth, then ring (607) 778-6018, which ICE says you may call at any time. Have the full and hyphenated names, aliases, date of birth and country of birth to hand. Urgent messages go to (607) 778-6439, because detainees cannot take incoming calls. The entry on the ICE facility list does not show who is held at this Binghamton jail.
How do I schedule a visit?
ICE's page, updated August 6, 2026, lists no visiting hours. Instead, call (607) 778-6142 to schedule. Each detainee receives two one-hour blocks a week, and any visit counts as a full hour however short it is, so a brief stop uses up the slot. Visits are non-contact. Everyone needs a government-issued photo ID. Visitors under 18 must come with a parent or guardian, who must prove the relationship with a birth certificate or court-ordered guardianship, so bring that paper. ICE lists public parking at the facility.
What can I mail to the Binghamton jail?
ICE gives this format: the person's name, BCCF P.O. Box 2047, Binghamton, NY 13902, with the last four digits of the A-number and your name and address. ICE lists these as refused: packages, obscene material, personal or cashier's checks, stamps or stamped envelopes, food, and periodicals not sent directly by the publisher. Staff inspect mail without reading it. Items needed for travel or release require ICE deportation officer approval, and the page gives Daniel.Snyder@broomecountyny.gov as the contact before sending anything.
How do money, tablets and phone accounts work?
ICE describes two separate routes. Money for the person's account goes through smartdeposit.com, (866) 394-0490, or a money order mailed to BCCF P.O. Box 2047 with their name on it. Do not send cash. Tablet funds are different: put money on through GettingOut.com, where an outside contact can also set up a tablet account through Globaltelelink. Non-confidential messages go the same way. ICE's page does not explain commissary purchases or say whom to call about a missing deposit. Its listed main line is (607) 778-1174.
Which court and ICE office cover Broome County?
EOIR's list, updated October 1, 2026, shows Broome County Jail under the Ulster Immigration Court in Napanoch, the records court, not a court in Binghamton. Check the actual hearing with this guide to finding a hearing or 1-800-898-7180. ICE's Buffalo office covers upstate New York at (716) 464-5800, and case questions go to BTV-dutyofficer@ice.dhs.gov. Lawyers visit during regular hours and from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m., and book legal calls at (607) 778-6439. Whether someone can be released is covered in our bond hearing guide.
