Eden Detention Center

Eden Detention Center checks every visitor's identity using photo ID, and no adult gets in without one. Staff maintain a written log of general visitors and a separate log for legal visitors. Detainees may be allowed to have certain items, including legal documents, prescription glasses, religious items, reading materials, and wedding rings, but everything is subject to facility rules. Breaking visitation rules can result in disciplinary action for the detainee and loss of your visitation privileges. Bringing or attempting to bring contraband can lead to criminal prosecution. Legal visits work differently: they're confidential, available daily per the facility's written schedule, and the rules guarantee minimum visit time limits under normal conditions.

You can't call a detainee directly at Eden Detention Center. The facility doesn't accept incoming phone calls to detainees, so communication is generally limited to what the detainee initiates. For urgent or emergent matters, call (325) 869-2704 and press 4, then provide the detainee's identification number so staff can pass along a message with callback information. For everyday contact, detainees can reach you through GettingOut email and video visitation once you set up an account. Attorneys can request Virtual Attorney Visitation (VAV) by emailing edenattorneyappointments@corecivic.com or calling (325) 869-2704. VAV is available to legal representatives, legal assistants, and interpreters with proper identification. Legal calls have specific privacy protections under DHS standards.

Eden Detention Center lets you leave money for deposit to a detainee's account. If you leave money or property at the facility, staff must give you a receipt (unless you hand it directly to the detainee). Deposits can be made through approved vendors, a facility kiosk, or by mail using accepted payment types. Confirm the facility's approved options before sending anything. Don't send cash or personal checks. Use a money order, cashier's check, or an approved vendor system instead. Expect service fees and vendor-specific processing rules for kiosks and third-party services. The Inmate Trust Fund office can confirm whether a deposit was received, but won't share balances or transaction details with anyone except the inmate. Follow centralized deposit instructions rather than mailing funds to a facility address.
