If your question involves someone being held on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer, Connecticut DOC materials direct those inquiries to the ICE regional office at 617-565-4946.
Verify before you call: State sources list two different numbers for the DOC Public Information Office (860-692-7780 and 860-692-7480). If one doesn't connect, try the other.
