How do I check whether someone is at Caroline?
Dial (804) 633-0043 and ask for extension 151 or 261 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., with the person's biographical details ready, after checking the ICE locator. Those extensions, not the (703) 285-6321 ICE shows as the facility main phone, are the ones ICE gives for detainee information. This listing does not show that anyone is held here. Case information requests go to Washington.Outreach@ice.dhs.gov. If nothing turns up, ring the Washington Field Office in Chantilly at (703) 633-2100, or check the Virginia facility list.
When are visits, and what time should I really arrive?
Saturday and Sunday only. Women: 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Medium to high custody men: 1:30 to 5:30 p.m. Low to medium custody men: 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Special Management: 9 to 10 a.m. Arrive at least 30 minutes early. The daily count at 1 p.m. stops movement, so visitors for women must arrive by 12:30 p.m. Nobody arriving at 8:45 p.m. or later is processed. Visits are limited to 60 minutes. ICE says all are non-contact, yet another line says low to medium custody may be contact, so ask.
How do I get an urgent message or a clergy visit through?
People here cannot take incoming calls. For an urgent message dial (804) 633-0043 ext. 104 and leave the full name, A-number, your name and a callback number. The Chaplain's Office, for clergy visits, is ext. 161. Consular officials arrange visits through the ICE Supervisory Deportation Officer at (804) 330-8280. ICE's tablet list names Talton here, while the facility page sends people to gettingout.com, which now redirects to ViaPath, so confirm the vendor before paying. Phone accounts are not described. Visitors need a government ID and may not bring items into the visiting area.
How do mail, money and packages work?
ICE asks for the A-number on letters and does not say the last four digits are enough, plus your name and address. Its page prints no letter format, so ask when you call. Mail is screened but not read. Do not send cash; money that comes by mail is credited to the account with a receipt. Commissary is not described. Packages are limited to items needed for travel or release, with ICE Deportation Officer approval. First contact the Mail Clerk: ext. 110, 11093 SW Lewis Memorial Drive, POB 1460, Bowling Green, VA 22427.
How do lawyers book time, and which court is listed?
Attorney visits run 1:30 to 9:30 p.m., 7 days a week, by appointment through Legal.Coordinator@CarolineDF.org, giving the client's name and the date and time requested. Virtual slots last 60 minutes and need a request 24 hours ahead. On the court side, EOIR's control list, updated October 1, 2026, shows Caroline County Detention Facility, Bowling Green, among Virginia televideo sites under the Annandale Immigration Court. Custody questions are for the bond hearing guide.
