How do I confirm someone is in Plymouth?
The sheriff's own ICE page points families to ice.gov/locator, which takes an A-number or exact name with country of birth. Then call (508) 830-6200. ICE prints two sets of hours for that line, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., so try the shorter window. Have names, aliases, date of birth and country of birth ready. Urgent messages go through the same number at this Massachusetts jail.
When can I visit, and do I need approval first?
Yes. Submit the sheriff's form and wait for clearance; visitors must be on the person's five-person list. A to L: Tuesdays and Saturdays. M to Z: Thursdays and Sundays. Sessions run 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. (processing 8:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.), 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. (12:30 p.m. to 3:15 p.m.) and, Tuesdays and Sundays only, 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. (5:30 p.m. to 9:15 p.m.). Arrive after the cut-off and you may be turned away. Each person gets one 30-minute non-contact visit per visiting day. ICE says arrive 45 minutes before a visit, so expect a lobby wait.
Where does mail go for Plymouth County?
As of October 31, 2026, ICE's page does not mention it, but the sheriff stopped taking personal mail at the jail on June 1, 2024. Send it to the person's name and ID number, unit and room, Plymouth County, MA Jail, C/O Securus Digital Mail Center, PO Box 21567, Tampa, FL 33622. Scanned copies are printed and delivered, and physical mail is destroyed after 60 days. Packages and certified mail are returned. Legal mail marked LEGAL MAIL or PRIVILEGED MAIL, money orders and publications go to 26 Long Pond Road.
How do money and phone calls work?
The lobby kiosk takes cash in $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 notes from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., 7 days a week. Online deposits run through accesscorrections.com or 866-345-1884, with a service fee on kiosk, web and phone deposits. Mailed checks and money orders must name the person and PCCF, dated within 180 days. The sheriff says people in custody need no account, because Massachusetts outbound calls carry no charge. Calls are recorded, except approved legal and clergy lines. Securus help: 512-308-6994, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST.
How do lawyers reach clients in Plymouth?
ICE says attorneys may visit in person at any time, and virtual visits run through Jurislink from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., booked at least 24 hours ahead. The Deportation Officer's name comes from (781) 359-7660 with a G-28 on file; the Boston Field Office main line is (781) 359-7500. For a hearing date, Plymouth's ICE page offers only 1-800-898-7180, so see the hearing lookup guide; the bond hearing guide covers custody. The ICE directory lists Boston-area sites such as Cumberland County Jail.
