Jack Harwell Detention Center, TX

Visiting someone at Jack Harwell Detention Center takes some prep, but it's manageable once you know the basics. This section covers common detention-center visitation processes to help you get ready before confirming Jack Harwell's exact schedule and rules. Visits are a privilege—they can be limited or canceled due to rule violations, lockdowns, security incidents, or health emergencies. Many facilities offer both in-person and remote/video options, and most non-attorney visits may be monitored or recorded. Typical prep includes setting up and verifying an online visitation account (if required), completing any background questionnaire, and arriving early for security screening. Policies vary widely, so check Jack Harwell's official channels before planning your trip.

Posting an immigration bond connected to Jack Harwell Detention Center? Payment is limited to money orders, cashier's checks, or certified checks. For bonds over $10,000, you must use a single cashier's check or certified check—not multiple instruments. Make the payment payable to the US Department of Homeland Security or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). If you'd rather not post bond in person, a licensed immigration bond agent can post it electronically for you. Agents typically charge a fee, commonly in the 2%–10% range. Many families choose this route to avoid traveling to ICE ERO facilities. Note: some ICE locations (like Otay Mesa and El Paso) don't accept in-person bond posting, so electronic posting or ICE-ERO offices may be your only option.

Search for Jack Harwell Detention Center detainee records through CFIA's detainee search, which matches a person's first and last name plus country of birth. If the person is a non-citizen, an Alien Registration number (A-Number) can also help—this unique ID is seven, eight, or nine digits long and commonly used for immigration-related records. No results on your first search? Try widening the net with statewide offender search pages, county jail rosters, or federal locator tools to confirm booking details and offender IDs. Registering for automated notification services helps too. Check multiple rosters, since county and third-party lists vary in completeness and update frequency.
