Is this the LaSalle detention center, and how do I find someone?
ICE calls this site Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center; EOIR's list says LaSalle Detention Center, and ICE's own legal office entry uses that name at 830 Pinehill Road in Jena. So papers may show either name or spelling. The ICE locator at ice.gov/locator searches by A-number or name with country of birth, whichever name a family has seen. The information line, (318) 992-1600, runs 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and needs the names, aliases and date of birth. The ICE facility list does not show who is here.
What are the visiting hours for men and women held here?
ICE's page, updated August 6, 2026, sets the schedule by the person held, not the visitor. Men held here: Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Saturday, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Sunday, 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. Women held here: Monday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Saturday, 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.; Sunday, 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
What do I need when I arrive in Jena?
Arrive 45 minutes before the visit time, because ICE says everyone has to clear security. Bring a valid government-issued ID. Visits last up to 60 minutes, and longer needs the warden's advance approval. Anyone under 18 must come with an adult guardian and cannot be left alone in any area. Family and social visits are non-contact, and weapons are barred. ICE says visitor parking is at the front of the facility. Before a long drive, call (318) 992-7800 to confirm the schedule has not changed.
How do I send money, messages and mail?
Money goes through Access Corrections at 1-866-345-1884 or accesscorrections.com, or by U.S. Postal Service to Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center, 830 Pine Hill Road, Jena, LA 71342, with the name on the money order. Tablets take messages; see gettingout.com. Urgent messages use (318) 992-7800, not the information number. ICE publishes no letter address: it asks for the last 4 digits of the A-number and your details, and GEO's contact listing shows 830 Pinehill Road, PO Box 2826, so confirm at 318-992-7800. That line also clears parcels, which are limited to travel or release necessities.
Which court and ICE office apply in Jena?
The LaSalle Immigration Court shares the 830 Pine Hill Road address, and EOIR's control list, updated October 1, 2026, names LaSalle Detention Center under it. Still confirm any one case through the hearing search guide or 1-800-898-7180. ICE gives (504) 599-7800 for the New Orleans Field Office in Louisiana and (318) 992-1600 for the Supervisory Deportation Officer. See the bond hearing guide for release questions.
