How do I confirm someone is at Christian County Jail?
Use ice.gov/locator with the A-number or the exact name and country of birth, then call (270) 887-4152 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. with full names, aliases and date of birth. The ICE facility directory entry covers the jail only. ICE's page, updated August 7, 2026, and read October 31, 2026, has no urgent-message procedure. For something pressing, try the jail, then the Chicago Field Office at (872) 351-3990.
How do video visits work in Hopkinsville?
ICE lists on-site video visiting of 30 minutes per week at no cost, split into two 15-minute visits. Book at jailatm.com 48 hours ahead. On-site times are Monday, Tuesday and Friday, 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. and 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. Remote visits run 24/7 through jailatm.com. Family visits are non-contact, and visitors pass a pat-down, a belongings check and a metal scan. ICE's page does not state age or ID rules, so ask before bringing a child.
Where do letters go?
Personal mail does not go to the jail. ICE gives Christian County Jail, C/O the person's name and last 4 of the A-number, 657 South Hurstbourne Parkway, Suite D PMB 230, Louisville, KY 40222. Legal mail is different: label it as legal mail and send it to the person's name at 410 West 7th Street, Hopkinsville, KY 42240. It is inspected for contraband but not read. After a transfer or release, only legal mail is forwarded, and other mail returns to the sender.
How do I send money or items?
Commissary money goes through jailatm.com or a USPS money order showing the person's name and last 4 of the A-number, mailed to the Louisville PMB address, not the Hopkinsville street address. Cash by mail is discouraged. Phone minutes are bought at inmatesales.com or 1-877-998-5678. Incoming calls are not possible, but messages can be sent through jailatm.com. Items for travel or release need deportation officer approval, and a person leaving may receive one 40 lb bag with supervisory approval. Electronics are refused. Clear any package first with CHI-ERO-Detained@ice.dhs.gov.
Who handles legal access and the court case?
Attorneys may visit Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and other hours case by case. Video or legal calls are requested from Chief Deputy Kyle Spurlin at Kyle.Spurlin@ccjail.org or (270) 887-4152, 24 hours ahead, so this jail has one named contact for lawyers. Families and lawyers send case requests to Chicago.Outreach@ice.dhs.gov at the ICE office for Kentucky. No court is named on ICE's page, so use our hearing lookup guide; our bond hearing guide covers release.
