Find Central Louisiana ICE Detainees

Central Louisiana ICE Overview

Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center is located in Jena and is operated by The GEO Group for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. GEO identifies the client as ICE, lists the center as ACA accredited, and describes support services such as around-the-clock medical care, family and legal visitation, legal and general library access, meals approved by a dietician, religious and special diets, recreation, and religious practice opportunities.

This facility holds immigration detainees in civil removal or immigration proceedings. That is a different custody system from La Salle Parish criminal booking. A person held at Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center may have an immigration case before EOIR, may need legal visit access, and may be searched through ICE ODLS by A-number or biographical data. The sheriff roster, weekly arrests page, and parish bond contact are not the right primary channels for this facility.

The GEO facility page identifies Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center as the Jena ICE facility and describes the services available at the center.

The facility listing reinforces why this page uses ICE detainee lookup channels rather than the La Salle Parish Sheriff's Office inmate search.

Central Louisiana ICE Capacity

GEO lists Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center with a capacity of 1,160. Vera's Louisiana facility data also identifies the facility as ICE-active and privately operated by GEO Group, but many local jail custody columns do not apply because the facility is primarily an ICE civil detention center. Capacity should therefore be read as ICE detention capacity, not parish jail capacity and not a sentenced state-prison population count.

Unlike the parish jail, the ICE processing center is not a local arrest roster. A detainee may be moved by ICE, transferred between detention locations, released under immigration authority, or brought to court at the same detention site. Confirm current location through ICE ODLS and the detainee information line before planning travel, legal visits, or mail.

Central Louisiana ICE Lookup

The correct lookup tool for Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center is the ICE Online Detainee Locator System. USAGov explains that ODLS searches by A-number or by biographical information such as name, country of birth, and birth date. ICE/BOP-style federal locators generally do not publish mugshots, and the sheriff's weekly arrests page does not control ICE custody records.

1. Open ICE ODLS and choose A-number search if the A-number is known.
2. If the A-number is not known, search by biographical data and enter the name, country of birth, and date of birth as accurately as possible.
3. Review the result for custody location and confirm whether Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center is listed.
4. If no result appears, contact the ICE detainee information line or the facility, because spelling, transfer, age, release, or data limits can affect results.
5. Use EOIR court resources only for immigration case scheduling or filing questions, not for basic custody confirmation.

For people searching across several La Salle Parish facilities, the custody type controls the first search. The La Salle Parish Jail page covers sheriff custody, while this facility uses ICE ODLS and immigration detention contacts.

Central Louisiana ICE Contact

Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center has a Jena street address and a P.O. Box. GEO lists the facility phone and fax, and the research found an ICE detainee information line in the ICE facility search result. EOIR separately lists the LaSalle Immigration Court at the same Pine Hill Road detention location, but court contact and custody contact serve different purposes.

Central Louisiana ICE Visits

GEO confirms that Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center supports in-person and virtual family and legal visitation. The research did not locate a detailed public family-visit schedule in the ICE or GEO material reviewed, so visits should be confirmed directly before travel. Legal and court access also need special care because EOIR's immigration court is inside a DHS-controlled detention facility with locked-gate access and security screening.

Central Louisiana ICE Mail

Mail and money rules for ICE detainees should be confirmed with the facility before anything is sent. The research gives the GEO/ICE facility address and P.O. Box but did not locate a detailed detainee mail format, deposit vendor, commissary fee table, or phone rate table. Immigration detention mail commonly requires a detained person's full name and identifying number, but the exact Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center format should be checked before mailing.

LaSalle Immigration Court Access

EOIR lists the LaSalle Immigration Court at 830 Pine Hill Road, P.O. Box 2179, Jena, Louisiana. Public window filing hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The court page also states that free parking is available outside the court. Because the court is inside a DHS-controlled detention facility, visitors should expect locked-gate access, metal-detector screening, bag screening, and limits on personal devices.

The EOIR LaSalle Immigration Court page is the source for court hours and entry rules at the detention location.

Those court details are separate from ICE custody lookup, but they affect attorneys, family members, and observers who need access to immigration proceedings at the same site.

Central Louisiana ICE Differences

Central Louisiana ICE Processing Center is civil immigration detention. The difference is practical, not just legal. Sheriff booking charges, state criminal cases, and parish bonds do not control whether an ICE detainee is held, released, transferred, or scheduled for immigration court. ICE custody may involve removal proceedings, immigration bond questions, detainee transfer, or EOIR hearing schedules.

BOP and ICE should also not be blended. BOP covers sentenced federal criminal inmates and some former federal custody records. ICE ODLS covers immigration detainees. U.S. Marshals pretrial custody may involve court and contract-facility contacts, but no public USMS locator was found in the research. When someone is known to be at the Jena ICE processing center, start with ICE ODLS and facility contacts, then use EOIR only for court-specific questions.
