Which Hopkins County number do I call to find someone?
This jail has two numbers, and they do different jobs. ICE's page, updated August 6, 2026, sends information requests and urgent messages to (270) 821-6704, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visit appointments go to the main line, (270) 825-5000. Outside those hours, the ICE locator at ice.gov/locator remains, by A-number or name, with country of birth. A weekend search may have to wait for the phone check on Monday. The facility directory entry does not show that any given person is here.
What are the visiting times at Hopkins County Jail?
ICE's page points to the jail's site, whose 30-minute slots follow the sex and custody level of the person held, not the visitor. General-population men: Sunday, 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.; Tuesday and Wednesday, 9:15 a.m. to 3 p.m.; Thursday, 9:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.; Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. General-population women: Sunday, 4:45 p.m. to 5:15 p.m.; Monday, 9:15 a.m. to 2:15 p.m.; Saturday, 3:15 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Other custody levels have separate tables, so ask which applies when you book. ICE says family visits are non-contact.
How do I book a visit in Madisonville?
Call (270) 825-5000, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. ICE says at least 24 hours ahead, and the jail is stricter: weekday visits by 3:30 p.m. the day before, weekend visits by 3:30 p.m. Friday. Everyone coming must be on the appointment, and a session takes 4 people at most, children included. Check in 15 minutes early with a valid photo ID. Phones stay out of the visiting area. The dress code bars spaghetti straps, muscle shirts, cutoffs, see-through clothing and bare midriffs. ICE says parking at this Madisonville site is at no charge.
What is different about mail and money here?
Mail goes to a box: the person's name, Hopkins County Jail, P.O. Box 1030, Madisonville, KY 42431. No return address means refusal, and the jail scans letters to a kiosk. Soft-back books must ship directly from a retailer. U.S. Postal Service money orders go to that box or are dropped off Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., payable to Hopkins County Jail or H.C.J. and the person's name, with your name as purchaser. The lobby kiosk takes cash and cards. careacell.jointaccounts.com handles commissary and tablet minutes. Other parcels: travel or release necessities only, after emailing CHI-ERO-Detained@ice.dhs.gov.
How do lawyers reach someone, and which court covers Hopkins County?
ICE lists attorney visits Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central Time. Video calls are booked 24 hours ahead through booking@hopkinscountyjail.com, and legal faxes go to (270) 821-6774. The Chicago Field Office, (872) 351-3990, handles Kentucky, even though Chicago is in another state. EOIR's control list, updated October 1, 2026, shows Hopkins County Jail under the Memphis Immigration Court, which does not by itself show where a given person's case is. Use the hearing search guide with the A-number. The bond hearing guide explains release.
