Attorney Visits

Legal representatives of detainees are authorized to visit their clients during the following hours:

Sundays through Saturdays: 8 a.m. - 10:45 p.m.

A list of pro bono (free) legal organizations will be posted in all detainee housing units and other appropriate areas. This list shall be updated quarterly. If a detainee wishes to see a representative or paralegal from that organization, it is the detainee’s responsibility to contact them for an appointment.

Video Teleconferencing | Virtual Attorney Visitation

Legal representatives may request virtual legal visits with their clients or prospective clients by email at pccfvav@pikepa.org.

A Pike County official will email back with a confirmed date and time. Please see the flyer for details.

The email should include:

Legal representative’s full name

Legal representative’s contact information, including phone number(s), and email address

Detainee’s name

Detainee’s alien number

A few proposed times/dates for the requested virtual legal visit session

A scan of the legal representative’s government issued identification

A scan of the legal representative’s identification or documentation reflecting their status as an active legal representative, such as a state bar card, attorney license, paralegal license, or similar legal status.

A scan of the attorney’s DHS Form G-28 (unless this is a pre-representational)

If a legal assistant is the only legal representative to join the call, the email should also attach a letter of authorization on the firm’s/organization’s letterhead and a scan of the assistant’s identification.

Legal representatives may also schedule virtual legal visitation or legal calls by dialing (570) 775-5500 extension 1530 (Pike County Correctional Facility’s Records Department).

All appointments for virtual legal visits should be made 24 hours prior to the desired appointment time to ensure that the facility receives the request in time. Appointments are scheduled daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (EST). Virtual legal visits will be in 60 minutes increments. All appointments are contingent on availability. Please note that legal representatives are not limited on the number of virtual legal appointments they can request, but no legal representative is permitted more than one 60-minute appointment with a detainee in a single day.

The same guidelines for in-person attorney/client visits will apply to virtual legal visits and legal calls. Only legal representatives, legal assistants, and interpreters will be allowed; no family or friends of the clients are permitted. The attorney and/or his/her agents may contact outside interpretation services during the call or session. The sessions will be confidential; a visitation officer will be stationed outside of the confidential room to ensure security by standing out of earshot but within eyeshot. The officer will knock 5 minutes before the cut off time.

Electronic Exchange of Legal Documentation

When timely communication through the mail is not possible, the facility administrator may, in his discretion, allow for a reasonable amount of electronic written communication by means between the detained alien and their designated legal representative.

Faxes/Emails Sent by Legal Representatives to the Attention of Detained Aliens

Legal representatives can send legal correspondence fax at (570) 296-9844. Legal representatives should make clear in the subject line that it is legal correspondence/mail and include as an attachment the specific documents/forms that the legal representative wants the facility to deliver to the detained alien. Within the email the legal representative should include the following information and a cover sheet for the attachment that includes the:

Alien full name

A-Number

Sender’s return fax number

Total number of pages sent

Notate the correspondence is “Legal Mail”

The documents will be inspected for contraband, but not read. The legal mail will be delivered to the detainee. All legal electronic communication requests will be processed daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. excluding holidays.
