How to Leave an Urgent Message for Someone at LaSalle County Regional Detention Center

Detainees at LaSalle County Regional Detention Center cannot receive incoming phone calls. Any urgent message has to go through the facility itself. The facility has a public phone number you can call for detainee information, and it's the same number you'll use to leave an urgent message. Below, I'll walk you through exactly what to do and what details to have ready so your call gets handled quickly.

Call (956) 948-5193 during posted hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Outside that window, you're much less likely to reach someone who can help or take your message.

Step2 Bio Ready

• ✓ Detainee’s first name
• ✓ Detainee’s last name (including any hyphenated last names)
• ✓ Any aliases the detainee may use
• ✓ Date of birth
• ✓ Country of birth

1. Call (956) 948-5193: This is the number used to leave an urgent message for someone at the facility.
2. Leave the detainee’s full name: Use their full legal name so staff can match the message to the correct person.
3. Leave the detainee’s alien registration number: Include the A-number as part of your message.
4. Leave your name and a reachable phone number: Give your name and the telephone number where you can be reached.

Once you've left the urgent message with the required details, facility staff will deliver it to the detainee. Keep in mind that phone contact still works the same way here: detainees cannot receive incoming calls. The only reason to call the facility is to get information or to leave an urgent message for staff to pass along.

1. Try again during the posted hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.): Call (956) 948-5193 within that window.
2. Have the required message details ready before you follow up: Be prepared to leave the detainee’s full name, alien registration number, and your name and a telephone number where you can be reached.
