Contact and Location Information
How to Find an Inmate at Stewart Detention Center
Members of the public can look for a person in custody using the official inmate search link on this page for the facility roster or locator. Rosters and custody records typically list basic details such as the person’s name, booking or custody date, charges or case type when available, and current custody status. For immigration detention, the locator may require an A-Number and country of birth or biographical information. Records usually do not appear immediately after arrival because intake, identification, and processing can take several hours. If the person is not listed right away, check again later or contact the facility or the appropriate federal custody office for guidance.
FAQs
How do I visit an inmate at Stewart Detention Center?
Visitation is usually scheduled according to facility rules, housing assignment, and available visiting hours. Call ahead or check the official visitation information before traveling, because schedules and approval requirements can change.
What do I need to bring when visiting Stewart Detention Center?
Visitors generally need a valid government-issued photo ID. Bring only allowed items, as phones, bags, weapons, and other personal property may be restricted or stored outside the visiting area.
How do I make phone or video calls with an inmate?
People in custody can usually make outgoing calls through the approved phone system, often using prepaid funds or collect calling. Video visits may be available if the facility offers them, and accounts are typically set up through the approved service provider.
How do I send mail to an inmate?
Address mail with the person’s full name and identification number, such as an A-Number if applicable, and use the facility’s official mailing address. Mail is screened for safety, and items such as cash, contraband, or unauthorized materials may be rejected.
How does the commissary work?
Commissary allows people in custody to buy approved items such as snacks, hygiene products, and writing supplies. Family or friends may be able to add funds through an approved payment vendor, kiosk, or other facility-approved method.
How is bail set and how do I post bond at Stewart Detention Center?
For immigration custody, bond may be set by ICE or an immigration judge, and payment is usually handled through the proper federal process rather than directly at the housing unit. If there is a separate criminal case, bail is set by the court with jurisdiction over that case.
What happens during the intake process at Stewart Detention Center and when will the inmate appear in the system?
During intake, staff confirm identity, record custody information, inventory property, conduct health screening, and assign housing. Search records may take several hours to appear, so a person may not show in the system immediately after arrival.
