How do I check whether someone is at Irwin?
The ICE facility directory cannot show who is inside. ICE's locator wants an A-number, found at the top right of a Notice to Appear, or a name, each with country of birth. Its results can lag by up to eight hours, so follow up at (229) 468-4121, extension 2225, between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. If the search fails, ICE sends families to the Atlanta Field Office at (404) 893-1290. ICE updated its Irwin page August 6, 2026, and this summary reflects a reading on October 31, 2026.
How do family visits work at Irwin?
ICE publishes no open visiting hours for families here. Instead, you call (229) 468-4121, extension 2250, to schedule. Each person receives two one-hour blocks a week, and any visit counts as one hour however short it is, so a brief stop uses a full block. Visits are non-contact. Visitors need government photo ID. Anyone under 18 must come with a parent or guardian, and proof of that relationship is required, such as a birth certificate or court guardianship order. Bring it with you. Nothing may be carried into the visiting area.
Where does mail for Irwin actually go?
Not to Ocilla. ICE's address is Jail ATM/Irwin County Detention Center, the person's name and A-number, 925 B Peachtree St. NE, Box 2062, Atlanta, GA 30309. Letters need the last four digits of the A-number plus your name and address. The jail refuses packages, personal or cashier's checks, postage stamps or stamped envelopes, food, obscene material, and periodicals not sent directly by the publisher. For travel or release items, a deportation officer must approve, and you must first call the property officer at extension 2262. Tablet messages go through jailatm.com.
How do I put money on an account at Irwin?
Money cannot be handed to the person directly. ICE names three routes: phone CSG at 1-877-618-3516, use Csgpay.com or jailatm.com, or post a money order to 132 Cotton Drive, Ocilla, GA 31774 with the person's name and A-number on it. That is the one item ICE sends to the street address instead of Atlanta, so do not mix the two up. Do not mail cash; ICE cautions against it, and a mailed deposit goes to processing, where a receipt is issued. The page does not publish commissary lists or name a phone-account service.
Who can answer questions about the case?
Deportation officer questions go to (229) 468-4121, extension 2283, and nothing is disclosed without a G-28 on file, so these requests normally come from a removal defense representative. ICE's Irwin page lists (404) 893-1210 for the Field Office Director, separate from the (404) 893-1290 main line; Atlanta covers Georgia and the Carolinas. No immigration court appears on the page, so the hearing lookup guide explains how to find the assigned one, and the bond hearing guide explains custody.
