How to Leave an Urgent Message for a Detainee at Baker County Detention Center

If you need to pass time-sensitive information to someone held at Baker County Detention Center, you can’t call them directly - detainees cannot receive incoming calls. Instead, use the facility’s urgent-message line to leave a message for the detainee.

Call (904) 259-3311 to leave an urgent message. This is the facility's dedicated line for time-sensitive communications to detainees.

• ✓ Detainee’s full name
• ✓ Detainee’s alien registration number (A-number)
• ✓ Your name
• ✓ Your telephone number (where you can be reached)

Have the detainee's identifying details ready before you call - this speeds things up, especially if they have a common name. You'll need their full name (including any hyphenated names or aliases), date of birth, country of birth, and alien registration number (A-number). Keep your own callback number handy too.

• ✓ First name
• ✓ Last name (including any hyphenated last name)
• ✓ Any aliases the detainee may use
• ✓ Date of birth
• ✓ Country of birth
• ✓ Alien registration number (A-number)
• ✓ Your name
• ✓ Your telephone number

Once you've left your message and contact details, facility staff will pass the information along to the detainee.

For general information about a detainee at this facility, call (904) 288-4600 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Have their full name, any aliases, date of birth, and country of birth ready.

Tips

• ✓ Say the detainee’s name clearly, and spell it out - especially if it’s hyphenated or commonly misspelled.
• ✓ Have the A-number ready before you call the urgent-message line.
• ✓ Keep key biographical details handy (aliases, date of birth, country of birth) in case you’re asked to confirm identity.
• ✓ If you need general detainee information, call (904) 288-4600 during the published hours (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.).
