ICE detention facilities provide access to a commissary, commonly known as the facility store, where individuals in immigration custody may purchase approved personal items. These items can include snacks, hygiene products, stationery, and other basic necessities, depending on facility availability.
Commissary purchases are made using funds from the detainee’s account. Family members or trusted contacts may add money through authorized deposit providers approved by the facility. Once funds are available, purchases are subject to spending limits, schedules, and facility-specific rules.
All commissary services within ICE detention centers operate under controlled guidelines to ensure safety and compliance with federal regulations. Since policies, item availability, and deposit methods may vary by location, families are encouraged to review the specific commissary rules of the detention facility where their loved one is held.
