How do I confirm someone is at Pike County?
Run the Online Detainee Locator at ice.gov/locator with an A-number or exact name, plus country of birth. Then call (570) 775-5500, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with names, aliases, date and country of birth. That one number also takes urgent messages. Ask for the housing unit and OCA number, because visiting and mail both depend on them. The county describes a jail housing both men and women, and the ICE facility list shows nothing about a particular person.
Which day can I visit at Pike County?
Learn the unit first, because ICE's table runs by unit. Men in general population units A and G: Saturday 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 12:45 p.m. to 2:45 p.m., Sunday 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Units H and K: Saturday and Sunday, 6:45 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Women in general population: Friday 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., 12:45 p.m. to 2:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. Other units, classifications and holidays have separate times on ICE's page, and the county's undated sheet differs, so confirm by phone.
What should I expect at the door, and can I deposit money there?
Pike County's undated Visitor Information Sheet limits a visit to one-half hour, which two visitors may split, and allows no more than 2 visitors. Bring photo ID. Anyone under 17 needs a birth certificate and a parent or legal guardian. Lockers hold personal items, cell phones stay in your vehicle, and coats, tight or revealing clothing, and food are barred. All visits are non-contact. The lobby kiosk takes deposits at visiting time and in business hours, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., only after you register at accesscorrections.com.
Where do personal mail and money go?
ICE says the jail accepts only legal mail. Personal letters go to Pike County Correctional Facility, PA, then the detainee's full name and OCA number, P.O. Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. The county's notice requires the complete facility name with the state and your physical address, and warns that legal mail must not go to Phoenix. Letters reach the tablet digitally; report problems to info@TextBehind.com. Messages also run through GettingOut.com. For money, the county names Access Corrections, 1-866-345-1884. ICE cautions against mailing funds and describes no phone account.
Which ICE office and court are tied to Pike County?
ICE's footer shows (272) 252-1050, the ICE Pike sub-office, which identifies the deportation officer with a G-28 on file. The Philadelphia Field Office itself is (215) 656-7164, and Philadelphia.Outreach@ice.dhs.gov takes case questions. EOIR's list, updated October 1, 2026, ties a Pike County Detention Center to the Elizabeth Immigration Court; check the hearing lookup guide. Lawyers may visit 8 a.m. to 10:45 p.m. daily. Removal luggage must be carry-on size, under 20 pounds, approved first. See the bond hearing guide. Local: Lords Valley, Pennsylvania.
