Find Eloy Detention Detainees

Eloy Detention Center Overview

Eloy Detention Center is listed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as a detention facility under the Phoenix Field Office. The research identifies CoreCivic as the operator under ICE contract. The facility serves immigration custody needs, so its lookup, visitation, mail, complaint, and FOIA channels come from ICE procedures rather than the Pinal County Sheriff's Office.

The practical distinction matters. A person arrested locally in Pinal County may first appear in the county jail process, but an immigration detainee at Eloy should be searched through ICE ODLS. The Pinal Sheriff inmate search is for people currently incarcerated in the Pinal County Jail and removed after release. It is not the right system for Eloy Detention Center.

The official ICE Eloy Detention Center page provides contact, visitation, mail, legal visit, complaint, and detainee communication information.

That ICE page is the facility-specific source to check before visits, mail, legal calls, or urgent family messages.

Eloy Detention Capacity

The facility map research notes that an ICE inspection source references Eloy as a 1,596-bed facility. The current ICE page capture did not publish a current capacity number in the accessible snippet, so any current bed or population claim should be treated carefully. For a current detainee count, use ICE or facility confirmation rather than older inspection references.

Pinal County population statistics focus mostly on the county jail and ADCRR prison facilities. ICE detention population numbers for Eloy were not captured in the same way. The sourced point for this facility is its immigration detention role, not a current official daily population figure.

Eloy Detainee Lookup Steps

Use ICE ODLS for Eloy Detention Center detainee lookup. ICE ODLS allows a search by A-Number with country of birth, or by biographical information with first name, last name, country of birth, and date of birth. Because ICE may omit some recent transfers or certain records, the direct facility phone is the required fallback for urgent verification.

ICE's Eloy page says callers should have the detainee's first name, last name, any hyphenated names or aliases, date of birth, and country of birth. Detainees cannot receive incoming calls. Urgent family messages go through the facility and should include the detainee's full name, alien registration number, caller name, and caller phone number.

1. Search ICE ODLS by A-Number and country of birth if the A-Number is known.
2. If the A-Number is unknown, search by first name, last name, country of birth, and date of birth.
3. Confirm that the listed location is Eloy Detention Center before arranging a visit or mailing items.
4. If ODLS does not show the person, call 520-466-4141 or the ICE information line at 520-464-3000.

Eloy Address and Contact

Use facility phone numbers for custody confirmation, urgent messages, and visit questions. Use ICE FOIA or Privacy Act channels for federal records requests. County jail staff do not control Eloy Detention Center records, phone access, or immigration custody status.

Eloy Detention Visits

ICE publishes a detailed public visitation schedule for Eloy. Friends and family visit days are divided by male and female housing groups, custody levels, and segregation status. Visits are at least one hour. Each visitor may visit one detainee per visitation day, and each detainee may have up to four visitors at one time.

Adult visitors need valid, verifiable government identification. Minors must be accompanied by an adult guardian. ICE facility rules can change for security, staffing, quarantine, or operational reasons, so use the facility phone before traveling from another part of Pinal County or the Phoenix area.

Eloy Legal Visits

Attorney visits at Eloy are listed Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 8 a.m. to noon. Legal video teleconference and legal call requests are handled by email to vavedc@corecivic.com. The ICE page says requests should be made 48 hours in advance and are limited to 40 minutes per day on Zoom or Cisco WebEx.

Legal representatives should not rely on the family visitation schedule. They should use the attorney-visit rules, include the necessary detainee identifiers, and confirm the appointment route with the facility. For formal immigration case information, the immigration court phone number may be more useful than any county jail or court page.

Eloy Mail and Messages

ICE mail rules for Eloy require the detainee's full A-Number and the sender's name and address. Mail is inspected for contraband. The research did not capture a facility commissary fee table, deposit fee schedule, or phone-rate table for Eloy from the ICE page. Tablets and nonconfidential messages are referenced through GettingOut, but current service terms should be checked with the facility before relying on that route.

Do not send cash or items based on third-party instructions. ICE facilities generally require strict identity and approval rules for packages, legal mail, and property. Use the official facility page or main phone number for current restrictions.

Eloy ICE Records

ICE pages route FOIA and Privacy Act requests to the ICE FOIA Office at 800 North Capitol Street NW, Room 585, Washington, DC 20536. The research also captured the ICE FOIA phone number, 1-866-633-1182, and email, ICE-FOIA@dhs.gov. Those federal records routes are separate from Pinal County public records requests and sheriff booking records.

For a person who may have been arrested locally before transfer, the county jail roster can answer only the local custody piece. For the broader Pinal custody landscape, Pinal County inmate population material should distinguish the county jail from ICE, ADCRR, and federal BOP systems.

Eloy Intake and Custody

ICE intake is not the same as county jail booking. The public research did not capture a step-by-step intake process for Eloy, but the ICE page shows the key practical rule: family and legal contacts should use biographical identifiers and A-Number information. A detainee's immigration custody record may be tied to transfer timing, country of birth, and immigration case status rather than a local criminal booking number.

Federal BOP search is also different. BOP is a fallback for sentenced federal prisoners, not the default system for Eloy immigration detainees. If a federal criminal defendant is held under contract or pretrial authority, direct facility, federal court, defense counsel, or U.S. Marshals verification may be needed.

About Eloy Detention Center

Eloy is one of several non-county detention facilities in Pinal County. Its presence is part of why Florence and Eloy are often searched together by families looking for custody status. The key rule is to match the search system to the custody type. County jail inmates go through the Pinal Sheriff roster. Sentenced Arizona prisoners go through ADCRR. Immigration detainees at Eloy go through ICE ODLS and the Eloy direct phone fallback.
