Located in Laredo, TX, Webb Co Detention Center operates as a private contractor with various government agency agreements providing state-minimum custody requirements. Programs are offered to all custody levels, including work release residents focused on reentry success. With a strong emphasis on rehabilitation, Webb Co Detention Center provides comprehensive educational and vocational opportunities. Onsite amenities include dietary, health, fitness, educational, religious, and recreational services. Regular inspections ensure compliance with government standards, ensuring the facility's continued operation.
The Webb County Detention Center, operated by CoreCivic under contract with the U.S. Marshals Service, provides a structured intake and orientation process designed to help inmates quickly adapt to facility operations and available services. During the first two weeks after arrival, inmates participate in an orientation program and receive a handbook outlining important procedures involving medical requests, visitation, commissary services, educational opportunities, recreation schedules, religious services, and facility rules. The handbook also explains communication procedures for maintaining contact with family members, attorneys, and support networks while incarcerated.
CoreCivic states that the facility maintains formal grievance and reporting systems intended to protect inmate rights and address concerns involving safety, medical care, staff conduct, or facility operations. Company policies emphasize protection from abuse, harassment, unreasonable searches, and inmate intimidation, while also requiring separate housing areas for male and female detainees when both populations are housed at the same institution. Staff members receive ongoing training involving inmate rights, mental health awareness, crisis intervention, and safety procedures as part of annual in-service programs.
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.
Medical and wellness services play a major role in daily operations at the detention center. Upon intake, inmates receive health screenings to identify existing medical conditions, mental health concerns, and treatment needs. The facility provides access to physicians, nurses, dental care, counseling services, medication management, and mental health evaluations, with more serious conditions referred for outside treatment when necessary. Nutritional services are also heavily emphasized, with meals reviewed by registered dietitians and specialized diets available for religious, medical, and therapeutic needs, including diabetic, pregnancy-related, and hypertension-focused meal plans. Recreational programs, educational activities, religious services, creative hobbies, and counseling programs are intended to promote positive inmate engagement and overall wellness.
The detention center also places significant emphasis on maintaining inmate communication with family members and legal representatives. Inmates are generally permitted to make collect calls or use prepaid phone accounts, while mail services allow family members to stay connected through letters and approved correspondence. Commissary systems enable inmates to purchase hygiene items, snacks, writing supplies, and approved personal products using funds deposited into inmate trust accounts. Like most correctional institutions, the facility maintains strict mail screening procedures prohibiting contraband, coded messages, explicit material, escape plans, or any correspondence considered a threat to institutional safety and security.
