The El Paso Service Processing Center (ICE) is a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility located at 8915 Montana Ave in El Paso, TX in El Paso County. This Regional Detention - low security prison is operated by Homeland Security to hold immigration detainees who are awaiting trial or have already been convicted and sentenced for a crime.

To find an ICE inmate, please use the Detainee Locator System

ICE recommends you use the A-Number search. If you know the detainee's A-Number, it must be exactly nine digits long. If the A-Number has fewer than nine digits, please add zeros at the beginning. When searching by name, a detainee's first and last names are required and must be an exact match (e.g., John Doe will not find Jon Doe or John Doe-Smith). You are also required to select the detainee's correct Country of Birth. (cannot search for records of persons under the age of 18).

The inmates housed at this facility are placed according to their custody level (determined by a number of factors including the length of their sentence and the past criminal history). There are ample educational and vocational training programs for all inmates.

EPSPC operates onsite to meet most of the inmate's needs, including dietary, health, fitness, education, religious practices, entertainment, and many others. Most private prisons are kept in top condition as they are constantly subjected to rigorous inspections and would like to keep a clean record to maintain government contra

The EPSPC is an immigration detention facility that is technically an ICE Service Processing Center. It houses immigrant detainees who are either awaiting deportation or having their cases heard before the El Paso Immigration Court. The facility has space for about 840 inmates, with a daily population of around 770. Because of its proximity to the border, it sometimes serves as a staging area for ICE to hold immigrants before deportation.

The Service Processing Center was one of 1,528 facilities that were used to house immigration detainees during the last decade and one of 654 facilities nationwide that housed ICE detainees during the most recent 12-month period. Of these 654, 324 facilities had at least 10 individuals who were deported or released. Excluding those facilities with fewer than 10 exits, the El Paso Service Processing Center last year ranked in the top 3 percent nationwide in the number of individuals leaving ICE detention. This means that 3 percent of the locations contributed the same or a larger number of exits, while 97 percent had a smaller number.

Deportations. Nationally, the most common reason that a detainee left ICE detention was that they were deported from the United States. During the most recent 12 month period for which comprehensive data are available, nationwide 81 percent of those leaving ICE detention were deported or "voluntarily" departed. By way of comparison, a higher percentage of detainees (88 percent) left the country from the El Paso Service Processing Center because they were formally deported, or left under the so-called "voluntary departure" procedure.

If you need information about a detainee that is housed at this facility, you may call (915) 225-0700/0717 between the hours of 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. When you call, please have the individual’s biographical information ready, including first, last and hyphenated names, any aliases he or she may use, date of birth and country of birth.
