How do I check whether someone is at Chase County?
Use the Online Detainee Locator at ice.gov/locator, then call the detention line, (620) 273-7054, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. with all names, including hyphenated ones, aliases, date of birth and country of birth. That line is separate from the sheriff's office, which the county lists at 620-273-6313. The ICE facility directory names the jail only, so it cannot tell you who is inside. If you still find nothing, call the Chicago Field Office at (872) 351-3990, which covers Kansas.
How do I book a visit in Cottonwood Falls?
ICE's page, updated August 6, 2026, and read October 31, 2026, allows one hour per week, which may be split into two 30-minute visits. Book by email at ccdc@chasecountyks.com. Video visits from home are scheduled through Combined Public Communications at cpcjail.com. Visits are non-contact, and nothing can be carried into the visiting area or passed to the person. Everyone entering faces a pat-down, a belongings check and a metal scan. ICE publishes no specific visiting days, so ask for open times in your email.
Where do letters and money go?
Letters go to a post office box, not the street address: Chase County Detention Center, C/O the person's name and last 4 of the A-number, PO Box 639, Cottonwood Falls, KS 66845. Include your name and address. Commissary deposits run through CorrectPay at (855) 836-3364 or correctpay.com, or a postal money order naming the person. Cash by mail is discouraged. Phone minutes and non-confidential tablet messages go through Combined Public Communications at (702) 829-3001 or cpcjail.com.
Can I drop off clothes or property at the lobby?
Yes, on set days. ICE lists lobby property drop-off from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturday through Wednesday. The limit is one suitcase, luggage or gym bag suitable for checked flight baggage, at no more than 40 pounds. Items stay in the property room until release. Only U.S. currency is accepted and it goes into the commissary account; identity documents are turned over to ICE. Before sending a package, email the Kansas City detained unit at EROKansasDetained@ice.dhs.gov.
How do I reach a lawyer, officer or court?
Case information requests go to Chicago.Outreach@ice.dhs.gov. The Kansas City detained unit, EROKansasDetained@ice.dhs.gov, identifies the deportation officer if a G-28 is on file, and G-28s are filed through ERO eFile. Attorneys may visit daily from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central Time and request video or confidential calls through ccdc@chasecountyks.com at least 24 hours ahead. Legal mail can be faxed to (620) 273-7076 with a cover letter. ICE names no court for this jail, so start with our hearing lookup guide and the bond hearing guide.
