Is this the same as Louisiana Lockup at Angola?
Names vary, so a different one on a paper is not necessarily a mistake. ICE's page, updated August 7, 2026, calls it Louisiana ICE Processing Center and refers to a Louisiana Lockup-Angola ID. DHS used Louisiana Lockup on September 3, 2025 for ICE beds at Louisiana State Penitentiary, also known as Angola Prison. EOIR's list says ANGOLA - Louisiana State Penitentiary. None of these shows that a given person is at this Angola address. The ICE locator at ice.gov/locator searches by A-number or name with country of birth.
How do I schedule a visit at Angola?
Call (225) 655-9013 first, because ICE's page says visits are scheduled through that line. Hours are Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday, 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors alone must be at least 18; anyone younger needs a parent or guardian. Everyone needs a valid government-issued photo ID. Social visits are non-contact, and ICE says parking at the facility is at no charge. The same line handles information about someone, between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., so have the names, aliases and date of birth ready.
How do I leave a voicemail or add money?
CSGpay.com does double duty here. Open a customer account there, then call (225) 655-9184 and leave a voicemail using the person's Louisiana Lockup-Angola ID. Phone and commissary money also go through CSGpay.com. A U.S. Postal Service money order to 17544 Tunica Trace, Angola, LA 70712 works too, with the person's name on it. ICE says money is not to be handed directly to someone held here. For urgent messages, call (225) 655-9013 with the full name, A-number, your name and number.
How do I address mail to Tunica Trace?
ICE's format starts with the person's name, then 17544 Tunica Trace, Angola, LA 70712. The envelope also carries the last 4 digits of the A-number and your own name and address. Outgoing letters leave within 24 hours of staff receiving them. Parcels are for travel or release necessities only: ask a deportation officer at (225) 756-9400 or neworleans.outreach@ice.dhs.gov first, and leave out electronic devices. Legal representatives can email vavcamp57@lasallecorrections.com or fax (225) 655-9117; those papers are processed Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. CT.
Who at ICE and which court handle Angola cases?
This page lists (225) 756-9400 as the field office number and for naming the deportation officer, with a G-28 on file. It differs from the numbers on other Louisiana facility pages, so use this one. ICE's page gives 181 James Dr. West, St. Rose, LA 70087 for the Field Office Director. EOIR's control list, updated October 1, 2026, names Angola under the LaSalle Immigration Court; confirm a case through the hearing search guide. See the bond hearing guide and the facility directory.
