Indiana Immigration Bonds
If someone you know is in ICE custody in Indiana, start by confirming where they are being held. If an immigration bond has already been set, Amistad can help you take the next step.
Where Is the Person Being Held in Indiana?
ICE currently provides detention information for facilities in different parts of Indiana. Start with the location you recognize below.
Clay County Jail
611 East Jackson Street, Brazil, IN 47834
Clay County Jail is a county facility currently used to house people in ICE custody.
Clark County Jail
501 E Court Avenue, Jeffersonville, IN 47130
Clark County Jail is another county facility currently used to house people in ICE custody.
Not Sure Where the Person Is Now?
Someone taken into ICE custody may be transferred after an arrest. Do not assume the person is still near the city where they were arrested. Use the ICE detainee locator before traveling or relying on facility-specific information.
Arrest Location May Not Be the Detention Location
A person taken into ICE custody in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend or another Indiana community may later be detained somewhere else. They may also be transferred outside Indiana. Always confirm the current facility before traveling, sending mail, following visitation instructions, or assuming which immigration court handles the case.
Detention Facility, ICE Office and Immigration Court Are Different
Detention Facility
Where the person is physically being held. In Indiana, the detention facility and immigration court may even be in different states.
ICE Office
Handles certain immigration custody and enforcement matters. Separate from the detention facility.
Immigration Court
Handles the immigration case. That is why confirming the exact detention location is important.

If ICE or an Immigration Judge has already set a bond amount, Amistad can help you understand what is needed to move forward. You do not need to travel to the detention facility to start.

Immigration Court Depends on the Detention Location
This is particularly important in Indiana. Someone held at Clay County Jail in Brazil may have a detained case connected administratively with the Chicago Immigration Court. Someone held at Clark County Jail in Jeffersonville may have a case connected with the Indianapolis Immigration Court.
The person's own hearing notice and current EOIR case information should always be used to confirm the actual court.
