How do I confirm someone is at Wyatt?
Search ice.gov/locator with an A-number or exact name, plus country of birth, then call (401) 729-1190, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., with names, aliases, date and country of birth. Ask for the pod, the booking number and the SID number too, because Wyatt runs visits by pod, mail by booking number and deposits by SID. Detainees cannot receive calls, but that number takes urgent messages. An entry on the ICE facility list does not place any person there.
When are visits, and do I need approval first?
ICE lists Sundays 1 p.m. to 2:15 p.m. and Fridays 2:30 p.m. to 3:45 p.m., open on holidays. Wyatt's own schedule varies by pod and matches ICE only for C and E Pods; A Pod shows Monday 2:30 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Arriving in another pod's time means denied entry. The detainee must list you, and you file a Visiting Application, then hand in a Request to Visit form each time. Wyatt's pandemic-era page sets a 30-minute minimum arrival, advises 45, and allows 2 adults and 2 children or 1 adult and 3 children.
What can I wear to a Wyatt visit?
Wyatt's dress code, in force since June 5, 2022, reaches everyday clothes. It bars sleeveless tops, V-neck T-shirts, low-cut crew necks, button-down and wrap shirts, sheer basic T-shirts, leggings, yoga pants, fitted sweatpants and full-length zippers. Shorts, skirts and dresses may not end more than 3 inches above the knee. Cardigans, scarves, hooded clothing, coats and hats go in lockers, religious headwear excepted. Jewelry is limited to items such as one wedding band and small stud earrings. No smart watches. The facility says it makes no exceptions.
How do mail, money and property work at Wyatt?
Wyatt's notice, effective April 1, 2023, sends personal mail to Wyatt Detention Facility, RI, name and BN# booking number, PO Box 247, Phoenix, MD 21131. A machine scans the number: if it cannot read it, the letter is not delivered, so write it very clearly. ICE's page still mentions the A-number digits. Legal mail and packages go to the facility. Deposit through 1-866-232-1899, touchpaydirect.com or the lobby kiosk, with Facility# 202863 and the SID. Travel or release items need ICE officer approval, then go to ICE's Massachusetts office, 1000 District Avenue, Burlington, MA 01803, Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Which ICE office and court are tied to Wyatt?
The ICE Boston Field Office sits in Burlington, Massachusetts, not Rhode Island. Wyatt's ICE page gives (781) 359-7600, and ICE's office list gives (781) 359-7500, so try both. Boston.Outreach@ice.dhs.gov takes case questions. EOIR's list, updated October 1, 2026, ties Wyatt Detention Center and Rhode Island detained cases to the Chelmsford Immigration Court; the hearing lookup guide confirms the actual place. Lawyers may visit 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. after calling ahead. See the bond hearing guide, Central Falls and Rhode Island.
