Why do Leachfield and Leitchfield both appear, and which building do I call?
Both are one town. ICE's page uses Leachfield, the jail writes Leitchfield, and EOIR says Grayson County Detention Facility, so try each form. The jail also runs more than one building. ICE lists only 320 Shaw Station Road, (270) 259-3636, while the jail's site adds a Female Facility at 300 Shaw Station Road, (270) 971-2072, and an Annex, (270) 259-8160. For a woman, call the Female Facility as well. Have aliases and the date of birth ready. The ICE locator at ice.gov/locator takes an A-number or a name, with country of birth.
When are visits, and which clock applies?
Use Central Time. ICE's page, updated August 20, 2026, labels the hours Eastern, but the jail's home page says all visitation times are CST. It gives the same federal schedule for the men's and female buildings: Fridays and Sundays, 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays belong to county and state inmates. ICE allows 1 hour a week, split into two 30-minute or four 15-minute visits, first come, first served and non-contact. Nothing may be carried into the visiting area. Virtual visits are booked through cpcjail.com.
How do I text someone, fund commissary and pay for calls at Grayson?
ICE says the facility offers chirping devices: once the person has one, an invite goes to a number they choose and the two can start communicating. Calling out needs a phone account with Combined Public Communications, (702) 829-3001 or cpcjail.com, because people here cannot take incoming calls. Commissary is separate, through the lobby kiosk or jailatm.com. A U.S. Postal Service money order also works if it shows the name and the last 4 digits of the A-number. Urgent messages go to (270) 259-3636 with the full name, A-number, your name and a callback number.
Where do letters and parcels go?
ICE's format is Grayson County Detention Center, C/O the person's name and the last 4 digits of the A-number, 320 Shaw Station Road, Leachfield, KY 42754, plus your name and address. The jail spells the town Leitchfield under the same ZIP, so use that spelling. ICE limits parcels to travel or release necessities approved by a deportation officer; email chi-ero-detained@ice.dhs.gov first. The jail's property page accepts its short item list only for 14 days after confinement, returns third-party parcels such as Amazon unopened, and bars families mailing property to other inmates. Lawyers can fax (270) 230-8818 or email video@gcdetention.com, marked Legal Mail.
Why might a Grayson case go through Cleveland?
EOIR's control list, updated October 1, 2026, puts Grayson County Detention Facility among the televideo sites of the Cleveland Immigration Court, not Memphis, where other Kentucky jails appear. A hearing notice controls, so check through the guide to finding a hearing or 1-800-898-7180. ICE's side stays with the Chicago Field Office, (872) 351-3990; case questions go to chi-ero-detained@ice.dhs.gov. Release is a separate topic in the bond hearing guide. The facility directory lists other sites.
