Stewart Detention, GA

Stewart Detention schedules legal visits online through ICE's Detention Facility Appointment Scheduler. You'll need an ERO eFile account to request a visit. Got an urgent, last-minute scheduling issue and can't use ERO eFile? The facility also accepts phone and email requests. Virtual Attorney Visit (VAV) sessions are strictly for legal representatives, legal assistants, and interpreters—family and friends cannot join. Attorneys must present appropriate identification (such as a bar card) before the scheduled VAV. Legal visits are confidential and not monitored audibly. Private consultation rooms are provided, with a visitation officer stationed outside for safety. ICE standards call for visiting hours on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, with weekday and evening hours when practicable. Adult visitors must show a government-issued photo ID before admission.

Trying to stay in touch with someone at Stewart Detention? Here's what you need to know: detainees cannot receive incoming phone calls, so you can't reach them by calling the facility directly. The facility issues tablets and directs people to gettingout.com for sending non-confidential messages. For legal communication, Stewart uses a VAV (virtual attorney visit) platform for confidential attorney–client conversations—though this doesn't replace in-person meetings. Legal representatives may use outside interpretation services during virtual calls. Recording of any kind is prohibited: attorneys and staff cannot audio or video record virtual or in-person visits. Violations can lead to suspension or revocation of VAV privileges. Planning a video visit or messaging session? Set up and verify your vendor account first, and confirm your device and internet connection meet the requirements before scheduling.

Stewart Detention provides medical, dental, and mental-health care—including screening, prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and emergency services. After admission, detainees are informed (orally or in a way they can understand) how to access care, appeal decisions, or raise concerns about health services. An intake medical, dental, and mental-health screening happens as soon as possible—no later than 12 hours after arrival. TB screening is also completed within that 12-hour window, following CDC guidance. Within 14 days, a qualified licensed health-care professional completes a comprehensive health assessment, including a physical exam and mental-health screening. Detainees can request health services daily and should receive timely follow-up. Anyone released after receiving care gets a discharge plan, medical record summary, necessary medication, and referrals as appropriate.
