What do I need before calling Farmville?
ICE asks callers to have the full name, aliases, date of birth and country of birth ready for (434) 395-8114, which gives detainee information from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The same line takes urgent messages, since people here cannot take incoming calls. The ICE locator is a sensible first check, though a listing here proves nothing about one person. If nothing appears, try the Washington Field Office at (703) 633-2100. Other Virginia sites are in the Virginia facility list.
How do I book a family visit?
Visits must be booked in advance through CoreCivic's scheduling page, corecivic.com/farmville-visitation-scheduling. All hours run 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., but days differ: ICE Level High on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays; Medium High every day; Low and Medium Low on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The Restricted Housing Unit is by appointment with 24-hour notice and Director approval. Ask for the level when you call. Do not arrive before 8:30 a.m.; processing runs 8:45 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. ICE says no visit will be less than one hour, though the Director may limit longer stays.
What happens at the door?
Adults need a valid government-issued ID, and minors must stay with an adult aged 18 or older. Visits are non-contact; a contact visit needs prior approval from the facility. Expect a pat-down, belongings inspection and metal scan. Weapons are barred, electronic devices stay out of secure areas, and anyone who appears intoxicated is refused. Nothing may be carried into the visiting area or handed to the person. Consular officials arrange visits through the ICE Supervisory Deportation Officer at (804) 330-8250. CoreCivic's page also shows 1-888-351-4024, the ICE Detention Reporting and Information Line.
Where do letters, packages and money go?
Letters need the A-number and your return address. ICE prints the format as name, A#, P.O. Box N, Farmville, VA 23901. That N looks like a placeholder, so ask for the current box when you call. ICE limits packages to items needed for travel or release, with Deportation Officer approval; contact the Warden first at P.O. Box 488, Farmville, VA 23901. Do not mail cash; funds received go to the account with a receipt. Commissary and phone accounts are not described. ICE's tablet list names Talton, while its facility page links gettingout.com, now redirecting to ViaPath, so confirm before paying.
How do lawyers visit, and which court is listed?
Attorneys book 60-minute visits through ERO eFile, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. including holidays, one per detainee per day with up to two visitors; walk-ins are allowed, but scheduled visits go first. No-contact days follow the level: Low and Medium-Low on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday; High on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Request a contact visit in the Special Needs field. EOIR's control list, updated October 1, 2026, shows Farmville among Virginia televideo sites under the Annandale Immigration Court. Use the hearing lookup guide for dates.
