Locate Farmville Detention Center Detainees

Farmville Detention Center Overview

Farmville Detention Center is listed by CoreCivic as an ICE detention facility in Prince Edward County. CoreCivic identifies U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as the customer base and lists the facility as multi-level security. The facility is physically in Farmville, but it should not be described as a Prince Edward County jail, a sheriff-operated jail, or a VADOC state prison.

That distinction controls the search path. Piedmont Regional Jail is the local and regional jail facility for Prince Edward County arrests, while Farmville Detention Center holds immigration detainees under the ICE system. A person in Farmville Detention Center is searched through the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, by facility phone, or through ICE contacts. The PRJ offender lookup is not the proper tool for an immigration detainee at Farmville Detention Center.

CoreCivic's public page lists Jeff Crawford as warden and says he has served as warden at Farmville for 13 years, with corrections, ACA, BOP quality-assurance, security, and PREA-auditor experience. The same page includes PREA reporting information and links for visitation and contact instructions. Current visit, mail, telephone, and facility-contact rules should be checked through those official Farmville Detention Center instructions before travel or sending anything.

Farmville Detention Center Capacity

CoreCivic lists Farmville Detention Center with 508 beds. That figure is facility-specific and separate from Piedmont Regional Jail's Board of Local and Regional Jails capacity numbers. PRJ capacity and ADP include regional jail custody for multiple Virginia counties and contract populations; Farmville Detention Center capacity reflects an ICE detention facility operated through CoreCivic's public facility listing.

The research did not locate an official current Farmville Detention Center daily population count. For that reason, the page should not state how many detainees are currently held there or imply that all beds are filled. Use the 508-bed capacity figure for facility scale, then rely on ICE ODLS or facility/ICE contact for individual custody status.

Farmville Detention Center Detainee Lookup

Use ICE ODLS for a Farmville Detention Center detainee lookup. USAGov explains that the locator can search by A-number or by biographical information. The A-number is the 8- or 9-digit alien registration number that may appear on Department of Homeland Security or immigration-court paperwork. A biographical search uses name, country of birth, and birth date. If the online system fails, contact an ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations field office or call the detention facility directly.

Do not use the PRJ roster for Farmville Detention Center. PRJ handles county/regional jail custody, while ICE ODLS handles immigration detention. Do not use the BOP locator unless the person is a sentenced federal prisoner or appears in federal Bureau of Prisons custody from 1982 forward. A person may move between systems, so the source should match the current legal status: PRJ for regional jail custody, VADOC for Virginia sentenced or supervised custody, BOP for federal prison, and ICE for immigration detention.

1. Open the ICE Online Detainee Locator System and choose A-number search when that number is available.
2. If no A-number is available, search by name, country of birth, and birth date.
3. Check whether the result identifies Farmville Detention Center or another ICE detention location.
4. If ODLS does not confirm the person, call Farmville Detention Center or contact ICE ERO for a custody check.
5. For a criminal arrest in Prince Edward County, also check Piedmont Regional Jail because local jail custody and ICE custody are different systems.

The CoreCivic public facility page for Farmville Detention Center gives the official facility identity, address, phone, ICE customer base, and PREA reporting channels.

That listing confirms the facility's ICE role, but it is not itself a detainee roster. Use ICE ODLS or facility contact for an individual custody check.

Farmville Detention Center Contact

Farmville Detention Center contact questions should go to the facility or ICE, not to the Prince Edward County Sheriff's Office unless the question concerns a separate county law-enforcement record. CoreCivic lists the facility address and main phone. The research also notes that facility information can be requested by phone between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Use the official page for the latest visitation and contact instruction links.

Farmville Detention Center Visits

CoreCivic's Farmville Detention Center page provides a link to download visitation and contact instructions and a separate visit-scheduling link. The research did not extract a current day-by-day schedule from that instruction file, so the safe facility-specific rule is to use the official CoreCivic visit instructions before planning travel. Immigration detention visits can change by housing, custody status, identification rules, legal-visit procedures, and facility operations.

Facility information can be requested at the main phone number during the listed 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. window. A caller should ask whether the person is eligible for visits, what identification is required, how many visitors may attend, whether attorney or legal visits use a different process, and whether the visit must be scheduled online before arrival.

Farmville Detention Center Mail Phone

CoreCivic states that the downloadable visitation and contact instructions cover visiting, sending mail, telephone, and more. The research pass did not capture a facility-specific money-deposit provider, mailroom format, approved-property list, phone vendor, or fee table for Farmville Detention Center. Those details should be taken from the current CoreCivic instruction link or confirmed by phone before sending mail, funds, books, documents, or property.

Use a conservative contact path for immigration detention. First, confirm that the person is housed at Farmville Detention Center through ICE ODLS or facility phone. Then ask for the current mail format, whether an A-number or detainee ID must be included, whether legal mail has a different address or marking rule, and which telephone or account system the facility uses. Do not apply PRJ's Phoenix digital-mail format, Keefe commissary rules, OffenderConnect deposits, or GettingOut visit setup to Farmville Detention Center unless the Farmville facility's own instructions say so.

Farmville Detention Center Intake

Farmville Detention Center intake is immigration-detention intake, not a street-arrest booking process for Prince Edward County criminal charges. A person may arrive there through ICE custody, transfer, or immigration detention routing. ICE ODLS is built to locate detainees by A-number or biographical details, while county jail roster fields such as booking number, local bond, arresting agency, and PRJ housing pod are not the right framework for Farmville Detention Center custody.

Federal and immigration custody also differ from state prison custody. The BOP locator covers federal inmates from 1982 to present and shows fields such as register number, age, race, sex, release date, and location. ICE ODLS is designed to locate immigration detainees, not to publish county jail mugshots or local booking profiles. If a Prince Edward criminal case later involves an immigration detainer, the local PRJ record and the ICE detention record may answer different questions at different times.

A-number

An 8- or 9-digit alien registration number used in immigration records.

ICE ODLS

The ICE Online Detainee Locator System used for immigration detainee searches.

Detainer

A request or notice from another agency that may affect release or transfer.

BOP

The Federal Bureau of Prisons, used for sentenced federal prison custody.

About Farmville Detention Center

Farmville Detention Center has been a recurring local detention topic because it is an ICE facility in the Farmville area, separate from the county's regional jail system. CoreCivic now lists the facility as owned since 2025 with ICE as the customer base. Local reporting noted changes in the government contract structure around 2024 and 2025, but the current facility facts for address, phone, capacity, customer base, security level, warden, and PREA reporting should come from CoreCivic and ICE sources.

PREA reporting channels are part of the official Farmville Detention Center public page. CoreCivic lists several third-party reporting methods: write to Farmville Detention Center, ATTN: Warden, call the facility at (434) 395-8114, or, for ICE detainees, call the ICE Detention Reporting and Information Line at 1-888-351-4024.
