IAH Secure Adult Detention Facility Lookup

IAH Facility Overview

IAH Secure Adult Detention Facility is treated in the Polk County research as an ICE detention facility associated with the Livingston and Polk County area. Direct inspection of the official ICE facility page and the ODLS page was blocked by access controls during research, so unconfirmed address, phone, operator, capacity, visitation, and vendor details are left out. The safe, accurate point is the custody category: IAH is an immigration detention facility, not the Polk County Jail and not a TDCJ state prison.

That custody category changes the search path. A person arrested locally may first have a county booking record, but if immigration custody later becomes the controlling hold, the active detainee lookup can move to ICE. The county roster may show only the local booking stage, may no longer show the person, or may never show an ICE-only detainee. IAH searches therefore start with ICE's federal locator and use county records only when there was a separate Polk County arrest or jail booking.

IAH Population Details

No official IAH capacity or current population figure was confirmed in the captured research. That is a meaningful limit, not a blank to fill from an unofficial source. The Texas Commission on Jail Standards figures for Polk County Jail do not measure the IAH Secure Adult Detention Facility because TCJS county jail population reporting is about county jail facilities. TDCJ's Polunsky Unit capacity also does not apply because Polunsky is a state prison.

The research supports a narrower statement: IAH holds adult immigration detainees in ICE custody. Immigration detention is civil federal custody, even when it intersects with local arrests, detainers, or transfers. For population and operational details beyond that custody category, the record should be checked with current official ICE sources because the inspection environment did not capture enough facility-specific data to verify numbers.

Search IAH Detainees

Use the ICE Online Detainee Locator System for a person believed to be in ICE custody at IAH. The research could not inspect the ODLS fields directly because access was blocked, so the safest guidance is to use the official locator rather than inventing field labels or result details. The Polk County jail roster is not the right tool for an ICE detainee unless the person also has a Polk County booking record.

1. Open the ICE Online Detainee Locator System.
2. Search with the person's identifying information as accepted by ODLS.
3. Confirm that the result is ICE custody, not county jail or TDCJ custody.
4. If the person was first arrested locally, separately check Polk County jail records for the local booking stage.
5. If no ICE result appears, use official contact channels rather than third-party detainee search sites.

IAH Facility Contact

The official IAH facility phone, exact address, and operator details were not confirmed during the official-source inspection captured in Research-Polk.md. The facility map describes the location as the Livingston, Texas area and marks phone and capacity as not confirmed. That constraint should remain visible because publishing an unverified number would create a bad path for families.

For a person who may be in ICE custody, start with ICE ODLS. For a person who may have had a Polk County arrest before immigration custody, check the Polk County jail inmate records workflow separately. For a person who was sentenced to state prison, use TDCJ. Each system has different data owners, update timing, and public access limits.

IAH Detainee Visits

The research file did not capture an official IAH visitation schedule. Immigration detention visits can be controlled by ICE facility rules, identity screening, detainee status, security conditions, and changes in local operations. Because the official page was blocked, no day-by-day hours or visitor-property rules should be invented here. Confirm current visitation with official ICE or facility sources before travel.

IAH Mail and Money

No official IAH mail, commissary, phone, or money-deposit procedure was captured in the research. The Polk County Jail scanned-mail policy does not automatically apply to an ICE detention facility. TDCJ deposit rules do not apply either. A family member should first confirm ICE custody and then follow current official ICE or facility instructions for mail, phone access, funds, and approved property.

IAH Custody Intake

ICE detention does not follow the same public booking path as the Polk County Jail roster. If the person began with a local arrest, the county booking card may show arresting agency, booked date, charges, bond, and a mugshot where available. If immigration custody later controls, ICE records become a separate federal civil detention record. The federal record may not show county mugshots, county bond amounts, or local court details.

Federal custody can also mean different things. The BOP inmate locator is for federal prison custody from 1982 to the present, while ODLS is the immigration detainee locator. Do not use BOP for an IAH detainee unless the person is actually in federal prison custody. Do not use the TDCJ locator unless the person is serving a Texas prison sentence.

About IAH Custody

IAH is best described from the captured research as an ICE civil immigration detention facility connected to the Livingston and Polk County area. That description is deliberately limited. The blocked official inspection means no local capacity, operator name, phone number, address line, or visitation schedule was verified. Accurate IAH lookup guidance depends on using the federal ICE locator and recognizing where Polk County jail records end.
