How do I confirm someone is at Glades?
The Online Detainee Locator from ICE searches by A-number or exact name, each with country of birth, and its data can be up to eight hours old. The sheriff's site also links an inmate search at smartweb.gladessheriff.org, but we could not confirm it covers ICE detainees. Then call (863) 946-0062 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. with full and hyphenated names, aliases, date of birth and country of birth. ICE's page gives the field office as (954) 236-4900; ICE's office list shows the Miramar Sub Office at (954) 843-5800.
How does the rotating visit schedule work?
ICE says days are set by housing unit and rotate every 5 days, and that detained people tell their families the day and time; the sheriff's page says to call ahead for the unit's day. The windows are 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., though the sheriff's page puts the evening window at 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Confirm at (863) 946-1600. Arrive 15 minutes early with government photo ID and carry nothing in. Visits are non-contact and capped at 2 hours, and minors need an adult guardian aged 18 or older.
Can we talk by video or phone instead of driving?
ICE's page covers only in-person visits, and says people cannot receive incoming calls. The sheriff's page describes remote video visits and phone calls through HomeWAV, by web or app, first come, first served, with no limit on remote visits. All social visits may be recorded and monitored, and visitors may not drive during one. Fund a phone account at homewav.com, in the app or at the lobby kiosk; support is 844.394.6639. For an urgent message call (863) 946-0062 with the person's full name and A-number and your callback number.
How do mail, money and commissary work?
Letters need the last four digits of the A-number and your name and address, and ICE cautions against having cash mailed. The sheriff's page names Keefe for commissary and lists separate paths: cash at the lobby Keefe kiosk goes to the commissary account, AccessCorrections.com is for commissary only, and a United States Postal Money Order is accepted, with no mailing address given, so ask at (863) 946-1600. Personal checks are refused. HomeWAV funds pay for communications only. Items for travel or release need approval from the ICE Deportation Officer, and ICE says to call the same number before sending packages.
How do lawyers schedule, and which court is it?
In-person attorney visits run daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. ERO eFile books 2-hour blocks from May 1, 2026, and walk-ins remain allowed, with scheduled visits first. Video calls run Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., booked at least 24 hours ahead, up to two 60-minute appointments a day. With no open slot or an emergency, contact attorneyvisitation@GladesSheriff.org and (863) 946-1600, ext. 2167. ICE names no immigration court, only 1-800-898-7180, so find the court and date. See the bond hearing guide, Miami-area removal defense and the facility directory.
