How do I find out whether someone is at NWRCC in Crookston?
Search ice.gov/locator with the A-number and country of birth, or the exact name and country of birth. Tri-County Community Corrections also posts an inmate roster for this Crookston jail, which appears in the ICE facility directory. Then call (218) 470-8100 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. with the full name, aliases, date of birth and country of birth. Polk County lists option 3 on that line for the jail. These hours come from ICE's page updated August 6, 2026, which we read October 31, 2026.
How do on-site and remote visits work?
Every visit starts with a Securus account: submit a photo and government ID for approval, then book at least 24 hours ahead. On-site visits carry no charge and run Monday to Friday, 8 to 9 a.m., 9:40 to 10:40 a.m. and 1 to 4 p.m. Tri-County allows 2 on-site visits of 20 minutes a day and up to 2 adults per session. It records visits and runs a warrant check and court-order search on every visitor. Bring photo ID showing your date of birth; under-18s need a parent or guardian. Remote visits run daily, 7 a.m. to 9:20 p.m., prepaid and non-refundable.
How should I address mail to NWRCC?
ICE says to write the person's name with the last 4 digits of the A-number, then 816 Marin Ave, Crookston, MN 56716, plus your own name and address. The jail's February 2026 handbook adds Suite 110 and says personal mail is scanned to tablets or housing-unit kiosks, with originals kept in property. It warns that non-privileged mail can be used in court. The jail refuses packages, personal checks, stamps, food and hand-delivered mail. ICE allows periodicals sent by a publisher, but the handbook bars newspapers and magazines, so ask first.
How do I add money or phone time at NWRCC?
ICE and Tri-County list 3 ways to fund an account: the kiosk in the NWRCC lobby, a money order mailed to 816 Marin Ave with the person's name on the order and the envelope, or team3.inmatecanteen.com, choosing Tri County Community Corrections. Personal checks are refused, and ICE warns against mailing cash. For commissary problems, call Turnkey Corrections at (715) 386-5700. Phone time and messaging run through Securus at (800) 844-6591. Incoming calls are not possible, and jail staff do not take non-emergency messages.
