La Salle County Regional Detention Center Overview
La Salle County Regional Detention Center is identified in official and high-authority federal records at 832 E. Texas State Highway 44 in Encinal. ICE maintains an official detention-facility page for the center, and a U.S. Marshals intergovernmental agreement PDF also names the Encinal Highway 44 facility. Research sources identify the facility as an ICE detention facility with federal contract context, not as the ordinary La Salle County Jail.
This distinction is important for searches. A new local arrest normally routes first to La Salle County Jail in Cotulla. A sentenced state prisoner belongs in the TDCJ system, including Cotulla Unit when assigned there. An immigration detainee belongs in ICE's system, and federal pretrial or contract custody may involve U.S. Marshals channels rather than county jail roster fields.

How to Look Up a Detainee at La Salle County Regional Detention Center
Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System for immigration detainees. ICE ODLS requires JavaScript. Public searches generally work by A-Number or by biographical information, including name, country of birth, and date of birth. Minors under 18 are not searchable through ODLS. If the person is a federal sentenced prisoner rather than an immigration detainee, use the BOP inmate locator instead.
- Open ICE ODLS in a browser with JavaScript enabled.
- Search by A-Number when available, because it is the most precise immigration identifier.
- If no A-Number is known, search by full name, date of birth, and country of birth.
- Confirm whether the result shows La Salle County Regional Detention Center or another ICE facility.
- If ODLS does not locate the person, check BOP for federal sentenced custody and call the relevant ICE or federal contact channel before traveling.
Do not rely on the La Salle County iSOMS jail roster for immigration detention. Local jail bookings, TDCJ prison records, BOP federal records, and ICE ODLS records are separate systems with separate update schedules and legal meanings.
La Salle County Regional Detention Center Address and Contact
The facility address is supported by the official ICE facility page and the U.S. Marshals IGA context. A current official phone number was not confirmed from accessible official HTML during research, so a phone number is not published here. Verify the live ICE facility page, ICE ERO contact channels, or official detention records before making travel, bond, or visitation plans.

Visiting Someone at La Salle County Regional Detention Center
Visitation at an ICE detention facility follows ICE and facility rules, not La Salle County jail rules. Family and friend visits commonly require identity verification, security screening, schedule compliance, and adherence to facility conduct and property rules. Attorney and legal visits follow a separate professional-access framework. Because the accessible research did not confirm the current schedule, verify the live ICE facility page or official facility contact route before traveling.
| Visit Type | Current Detail | Verification Needed |
|---|---|---|
| Family or social visit | Facility-specific schedule not confirmed | Verify through the live ICE facility page |
| Attorney or legal visit | Separate ICE/facility rules apply | Confirm professional access, documents, and hours |
| Identification | Government ID should be expected | Confirm accepted ID and minor visitor rules |
| Security screening | ICE detention screening applies | Ask about property, dress, and prohibited items |
| Travel | Facility is in Encinal, not Cotulla | Do not go to the county jail for ICE visitation |
Mail, Phone, and Money at La Salle County Regional Detention Center
Mail, phone, commissary, and money procedures for ICE detainees must be verified from ICE or the facility's current rules. The research did not confirm an official current phone provider, deposit vendor, fee table, or mail format from accessible HTML. Immigration bonds are also different from county bail. A county sheriff's bail counter does not automatically accept an ICE immigration bond, and ICE bonds may need to be handled through ICE ERO bond procedures or a bond-accepting office.
| Service | Published Detail Located | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Detainee mail | Facility-specific format not confirmed | Verify live ICE facility instructions before mailing |
| Phone calls | Provider not confirmed | Ask ICE or facility for current calling rules |
| Money or commissary | Vendor and fees not confirmed | Do not send funds until the official method is verified |
| Immigration bond | Not a county bail process | Verify ICE ERO bond procedure and accepted location |
Federal and Immigration Intake Pathway
La Salle County Regional Detention Center is not the place to search for ordinary county booking charges after a local arrest unless official records show a federal or immigration transfer. Immigration detention is civil immigration custody searched through ICE ODLS. Federal sentenced prisoners are searched through BOP. Federal pretrial detainees may be in U.S. Marshals custody and may be housed under contract arrangements, but the research did not locate a current public source proving every present USMS population channel at the facility.
A person can move between systems. A county arrest may lead to release, court prosecution, TDCJ prison, federal custody, or ICE custody depending on charges, warrants, detainers, and immigration action. When one search tool does not show a person, use the next official channel based on custody type rather than assuming the person is not detained.
Records and Public Access for ICE Custody
ICE ODLS is a locator, not a complete public case file. It does not function as a mugshot gallery and should not be treated as a county jail roster. For immigration case status, bond, hearings, and legal filings, use the appropriate immigration court, ICE ERO, attorney, or federal contact channel. For federal sentenced custody, BOP's locator shows fields such as name, register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location, but it does not publish public mugshots through the locator.
The ICE facility page access issue is a source limitation, not a reason to invent facility-specific rules. The reliable public facts are the facility name, Encinal address, ICE facility page existence, ICE ODLS as the immigration locator, and USMS IGA context for federal contract history. Phone, capacity, exact visiting schedule, mail format, deposit provider, and current vendor details should be verified from live official sources before use.
Note: Confirm detention location, visit rules, mail format, bond procedure, phone, and capacity through ICE before travel or deposits.
