How do I confirm someone is in Pahrump?

CoreCivic owns and manages this center and names the U.S. Marshals Service as its government partner. A place in the ICE directory proves nothing about one person, so use ice.gov/locator, with an A-number or exact name plus country of birth. Then call (702) 388-6253 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. For urgent messages, call the facility at (775) 751-4500 with the full name, A-number and your callback number.

When can family visit, and can relatives from far away get more time?

ICE lists family visits Thursday and Friday from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Each person gets one hour, once a week, non-contact. Up to 2 adults and 2 children may visit, with some flexibility. The Chief of Security may allow more time for relatives who travel far, so ask before leaving for Pahrump. Adults need valid government ID, and minors need an adult with them. CoreCivic's August 2017 visitor sheet says visits are first come, first served.

How do I send money to Nevada Southern?

ICE only warns against mailing cash, so CoreCivic's sheets are the guide, and they do not mention ICE; confirm first. ConnectNetwork.com takes deposits, as does Trust at 888-988-4768 with site ID 291. Western Union, 1-800-634-3422, needs the commissary number. Mail money orders or cashier's checks payable to the person, in an envelope addressed exactly like the sample: CoreCivic, last and first name, commissary number, a Facility line, P.O. Box 16545, Atlanta, GA 30321-0545. Ask what the Facility line should say. Enclose nothing else, because nothing sent there is forwarded or returned. CoreCivic's 2017 sheet prints an older CCA box; confirm before using it.

How do mail and tablet messages reach someone?

Letters need the last 4 digits of the A-number and your name and address. Officers inspect them for contraband without reading them. ICE's page, updated August 6, 2026, uses ZIP 89048, while CoreCivic prints 89060, so check before you mail anything time-sensitive. The center has tablets, and ICE points to gettingout.com for contacting someone that way; it gives no phone rates. CoreCivic lists AdvancePay at 800-483-8314 and PIN Debit at 855-706-2445. Ask the Facility Warden before sending a package, and do not send letters to the Atlanta money box.

How do lawyers reach clients, and what is next in the case?

Attorneys may visit daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Virtual visits are requested by email to NSDCAttorneySchedule@corecivic.com at least 24 hours ahead, and legal faxes go to (775) 751-8763. Pahrump has no court named on ICE's page, only 1-800-898-7180, so use the court and hearing finder; the bond hearing guide covers release. ICE Salt Lake City is (801) 736-1200, and CoreCivic gives the ICE information line, 1-888-351-4024. Nevada's directory lists other sites.
