The Eloy Detention Center (ICE) - CoreCivic is a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility located at 1705 E Hanna Rd in Eloy, AZ in Pinal County. This medium-security facility is operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and functions as a holding center for immigration detainees awaiting trial, deportation, or serving sentences following conviction.
To find an ICE inmate, please use the Detainee Locator System with the A-Number search being the most efficient method. The A-number must be exactly nine digits; if shorter, zeros should be added at the beginning. When searching by name, the first and last names must be entered as an exact match, and the detainee's correct country of birth must be selected. Please note that records of individuals under 18 cannot be searched.
Detainees at this facility are assigned to housing based on their custody level, determined by various factors including sentence length and criminal history. The detention center provides a wide range of educational and vocational training programs. Additionally, the facility is equipped to meet most detainee needs, including dietary, health, fitness, education, religious practices, and entertainment. As a privately operated facility, it undergoes frequent inspections to ensure it remains in top condition, maintaining a clean record to secure ongoing government contracts.
The Eloy Detention Center in Eloy, Arizona, is one of the largest and most heavily utilized immigration detention facilities in the United States. Operated by CoreCivic under contract with the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the facility houses ICE detainees awaiting immigration hearings, asylum proceedings, deportation actions, or transfer within the federal immigration detention system. Located in Pinal County between Phoenix and Tucson, the detention center has operated continuously since 1994 and remains a major component of federal immigration enforcement operations in the Southwest. Public ICE and detention records identify the facility as having an approximate capacity of 1,596 detainee beds for both male and female detainees.
Eloy is adjacent to three other prisons also run by CoreCivic: the Red Rock Correctional Center, the La Palma Correctional Facility, and the Saguaro Correctional Center. Incarceration deeply impacts many lives, often leading to separation from loved ones. Recognizing the importance of maintaining healthy relationships, CoreCivic ensures that families, friends, and community members remain connected to inmates in their care. Understanding that entering a correctional facility for the first time can be overwhelming, CoreCivic provides resources to help individuals become comfortable and informed about their loved one's situation.
Upon arrival at a CoreCivic correctional facility, every inmate participates in an orientation program and receives a copy of the facility's inmate handbook. This handbook covers essential topics such as medical services, religious practices, educational programs, recreation, commissary, hygiene expectations, facility schedules, and visitation information. Orientation and the handbook empower inmates to address concerns, participate in programs, and stay connected with their families and legal representation.
After processing, inmates are assigned to a housing area based on classification. Compliance with jail rules typically results in a lower classification and more privileges, while rule violations or additional charges lead to a higher classification and fewer privileges. Inmates serving as trustees within the jail undertake various tasks, including cooking, laundry, and commissary management, often receiving minimal compensation or sentence reduction for their services.
ICE Detainee Information
This facility holds immigration detainees under an active contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in addition to its regular population. ICE detainees are civil immigration detainees, not criminal defendants, and are held while their immigration cases are processed. The rules, rights, and services that apply to ICE detainees differ from those that apply to the general jail population.
To locate an ICE detainee at this facility, use the ICE Online Detainee Locator at locator.ice.gov. You will need the detainee's A-Number, a nine-digit Alien Registration Number that appears on any immigration document they have received. If the A-Number has fewer than nine digits, add zeros at the beginning. If you do not have the A-Number, you can search using the detainee's full legal name, country of birth, and date of birth. Names must be an exact match; try variations if the first search returns no results.
Immigration bond works differently from criminal bail. Not all detainees are eligible for bond; those with certain criminal convictions or prior deportation orders may be subject to mandatory detention. For those who are eligible, bond is set by an immigration judge and typically ranges from $1,500 to over $10,000. Bond must be paid in full before release. An immigration attorney can request a bond hearing and argue for a lower amount based on the detainee's circumstances.
Unlike criminal defendants, ICE detainees do not have the right to a government-appointed attorney. They must hire a private immigration attorney or find free legal help through a nonprofit organization. RAICES provides legal services and bond assistance at raicestexas.org. The National Immigrant Justice Center offers free legal representation at immigrantjustice.org. Many immigration courts also maintain a list of free and low-cost legal service providers available to detainees upon request.
ICE transfers detainees between facilities frequently and with little advance notice, sometimes to locations far from family and legal counsel. If you cannot locate your family member through this page, search the ICE Online Detainee Locator again at locator.ice.gov with their A-Number. If they have an attorney, notify the attorney immediately as transfers affect court appearances and case timelines.
The facility is currently overseen by Warden Fred Figueroa, a longtime CoreCivic corrections administrator with extensive experience managing federal and immigration detention operations in Arizona. The detention center includes secure housing units, intake and classification areas, medical and mental health clinics, transportation staging sections, attorney visitation areas, recreation yards, food service operations, and administrative offices supporting large-scale detention functions. Because of its location near major transportation corridors and federal immigration courts, Eloy serves as a key detention and transfer hub for ICE detainees moving through the federal immigration system. CoreCivic personnel oversee security, detainee supervision, medical coordination, food services, transportation logistics, and compliance with ICE detention standards under continuous federal oversight.
The jail offers a phone program for outbound calls only, with inmates unable to receive incoming calls. Accepting collect calls can be expensive, sometimes exceeding $10 per call. Alternatively, setting up an account through a third-party phone company may entail high fees per minute of usage. Click here for discounts on inmate calls, especially if the communication with your inmate is frequent. It's important to remember that all phone calls are recorded, and discussing sensitive legal matters over these lines is discouraged.
Books and magazines ordered for inmates must come directly from the publisher. This policy ensures that the items are new, untampered, and comply with the facility's regulations. The Jail enforces this rule to prevent the introduction of contraband or prohibited materials. By restricting orders to publishers, the facility can better maintain security and control over the content entering the institution. Any books or magazines not received directly from the publisher will be rejected and not delivered to the inmate. You may, however, send letters and selfies to inmates with this easy-to-use app, packages starting at only $8.00.
Inmate workers are chosen based on conduct and cooperation with staff. Participation in the community service program can sometimes reduce sentences. Commissary is available weekly, with orders submitted via kiosk two days in advance. On holidays, there may be increased spending limits. Upon receiving commissary items, inmates must present their ID, check their order, and sign for it in the presence of the commissary employee. Indigent inmates are provided with all essential basic hygiene items including USPS stamps and writing materials.
CoreCivic prioritizes the safety and security of all individuals within its facilities. Measures are in place to protect inmates from personal abuse, injury, verbal abuse, corporal punishment, property damage, and harassment. Robust sexual abuse prevention programs, freedom from unreasonable searches, and separate housing for males and females contribute to a secure environment.
CoreCivic recognizes the opportunity for inmates to reflect on their lifestyles during incarceration. Essential services, including nutrition, healthcare, and wellness activities, are provided to support physical and mental well-being. Nutrition services ensure that inmates receive balanced meals tailored to their dietary needs, supporting overall health and wellness. Healthcare services, including medical and dental care, are readily available, along with mental health support from qualified professionals. Wellness activities offer recreational outlets for inmates to stay active, engage in positive interactions, and develop valuable life skills.
Inmates may receive money for various activities within the facility, such as purchasing items from the commissary or covering medical co-pays. Money is managed through inmate accounts, with most facilities having an in-facility commissary where inmates can purchase food items, hygiene products, and writing materials. Contributions to an inmate's account from friends and family members are typically accepted, with instructions provided for contributing funds.
CoreCivic is committed to supporting inmates' well-being, facilitating communication with their families and friends, and ensuring a safe and secure environment within its correctional facilities. Through comprehensive programs and services, CoreCivic aims to promote rehabilitation, successful reentry into society, and positive outcomes for individuals in its care.
