在ICE拘留所（Detention Facility）里面要注意什么？安全、医疗、日常用品与申诉全指南 Inside an ICE Detention Facility: A Complete Guide to Safety, Medical Care, Daily Supplies, and Grievances

一句话核心总结（TL;DR）：在ICE detention facility里，安全、健康和日常用品主要依靠三套机制：facility staff / medical unit、detainee request & grievance system、commissary / facility-issued supplies。进去后要尽快读懂该facility的local detainee handbook；入所时立即向medical intake说明慢性病和用药；遇到威胁明确说"I am concerned for my safety"，不要自行冲突；基本衣物、床品、毛巾原则上由facility免费提供；家属不能随意寄包裹或现金，须先查facility规则。重要事项尽量形成书面request记录，解决不了再走grievance。对于可能走§236(a) bond的人，避免任何disciplinary incident不仅关乎人身安全，也直接影响bond hearing中对danger和discretionary release的判断。

TL;DR (English): Inside an ICE detention facility, safety, health, and daily needs rely on three mechanisms: facility staff / medical unit, the detainee request & grievance system, and commissary / facility-issued supplies. Read the facility's local detainee handbook right away; report chronic conditions and medications at medical intake; if threatened, say clearly "I am concerned for my safety" and avoid conflict; basic clothing, bedding, and towels should generally be provided free; family cannot freely mail packages or cash — check facility rules first. Put important requests in writing and escalate to a grievance if unresolved. For anyone pursuing a §236(a) bond, avoiding any disciplinary incident matters not just for safety but for how danger and discretionary release are weighed at the bond hearing.

For people detained by ICE after F-1, J-1, or H-1B status expires, or after an I-485 denial, life and safety inside the facility are often the family's biggest worry. Our experienced, reliable immigration attorneys summarize the practical points below. Rules vary by detention center; ICE uses several sets of detention standards, all of which require basic safety, medical care, and sanitation.

1. 在拘留所里，怎样保护自己的人身安全？
How Do You Protect Your Personal Safety Inside the Facility?

最重要的是尽量减少不必要的冲突。不要为了床位、电话、电视、食物、排队等事情和其他detainees争执；不要替别人保管东西，也不要借用、交换来源不明的物品。ICE detainee handbook说明，未获批准的物品可能被当作contraband；即使原本允许的物品，如数量过多、被改装或使用不当，也可能构成违规。

Above all, minimize unnecessary conflict. Don't argue with other detainees over beds, phones, TV, food, or lines; don't hold items for others or borrow or trade items of unknown origin. The ICE detainee handbook says unapproved items may be treated as contraband, and even permitted items can become violations if held in excess, altered, or misused.

2. 入所时健康问题应该怎样报告？生病后怎样看医生？
How Should Health Issues Be Reported at Intake, and How Do You See a Doctor Later?

入所时通常会有health screening，这时要主动说明：chronic diseases（如diabetes、hypertension、heart disease、asthma）、psychiatric history、pregnancy、seizure history、allergies、正在服用的药、最近的surgery/hospitalization，以及任何需要连续治疗的疾病。正在服用prescription medication的人，应把药名、剂量、频率、医生和药房信息说清楚。

Intake usually includes a health screening. Proactively disclose chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, asthma), psychiatric history, pregnancy, seizure history, allergies, current medications, recent surgery or hospitalization, and any condition needing continuous treatment. If you take prescription medication, state the drug name, dosage, frequency, doctor, and pharmacy.

进去后生病，通常要提交sick-call request / medical request，可能是纸质表格、kiosk或tablet。不要只口头跟普通officer说一次；症状持续时，最好留下书面request记录。

If you get sick later, you usually submit a sick-call or medical request by paper form, kiosk, or tablet. Don't rely on telling an officer once; if symptoms persist, keep a written record.

3. 如果在拘留所拿不到药，怎么办？
What If You Aren't Getting Your Medication?

要持续、具体地提出请求。不要只说"I need my medicine."，应尽量说清药名、剂量、用途和漏服情况，便于medical staff评估urgency。家属在外面可以把prescription bottle照片、pharmacy printout、doctor letter和recent medical records交给律师，由律师通过facility的medical/legal access渠道联系。

Make persistent, specific requests. Instead of "I need my medicine," state the drug, dose, purpose, and missed doses so medical staff can assess urgency. Family can give prescription bottle photos, pharmacy printouts, a doctor's letter, and recent medical records to the attorney, who can contact the facility through medical/legal access channels.

4. 衣物、床品和洗漱用品由谁提供？
Who Provides Clothing, Bedding, and Hygiene Items?

按照ICE 2025 National Detention Standards，新detainee应免费获得基本衣物、鞋袜、床上用品和毛巾，并定期更换；标准还要求facility有足够供应，避免因库存不足拖延更换。ICE detainee handbook也说明，一般会按facility schedule定期更换内衣袜子、制服、床单和毛巾。

Under ICE's 2025 National Detention Standards, new detainees should receive basic clothing, footwear, bedding, and towels free of charge, exchanged regularly, and facilities must keep adequate supply so exchanges aren't delayed. The ICE detainee handbook also describes regular exchanges of underwear, socks, uniforms, sheets, and towels on the facility's schedule.

如果缺少underwear、socks、soap、toothpaste/toothbrush、towel、clean bedding或适合天气的衣物，先向housing officer提出，没有解决就提交written detainee request。

If you lack underwear, socks, soap, toothpaste or a toothbrush, a towel, clean bedding, or weather-appropriate clothing, ask the housing officer first, then submit a written detainee request if unresolved.

5. 额外用品怎么买？家属能直接寄包裹或现金吗？
How Do You Get Extra Items? Can Family Mail Packages or Cash?

很多facility有commissary，可购买一定范围内的snacks、hygiene items、writing materials、envelopes/stamps、toiletries、approved clothing items以及telephone/tablet credits，具体清单和价格因facility而异。

Many facilities have a commissary offering snacks, hygiene items, writing materials, envelopes and stamps, toiletries, approved clothing, and phone or tablet credits; items and prices vary by facility.

6. 眼镜、助听器、特殊饮食等需求怎样处理？
How Are Glasses, Hearing Aids, Special Diets, and Similar Needs Handled?

如果需要prescription glasses、hearing aid、CPAP、orthopedic device、special diet或diabetic supplies，应向medical unit提request，而不是直接让家属寄。有些物品即使医学上需要，因security policy也必须先由facility medical/security staff批准。

For prescription glasses, hearing aids, CPAP, orthopedic devices, special diets, or diabetic supplies, submit a request to the medical unit rather than having family mail them. Even medically necessary items may need prior approval from facility medical and security staff.

如有diabetes、food allergy、renal disease、celiac disease等需要特殊饮食的情况，应要求medical unit记录并开具dietary order；宗教饮食需求则向facility提出religious diet request。

For diabetes, food allergies, renal disease, celiac disease, or other medically necessary diets, ask the medical unit to document and issue a dietary order; for religious dietary needs, submit a religious diet request to the facility.

7. 个人卫生、睡眠和心理健康要注意什么？
What About Personal Hygiene, Sleep, and Mental Health?

在集体环境里，个人卫生也有安全意义：经常洗手；不共用剃须刀、牙刷、毛巾或可能接触血液的物品；保持床铺和个人区域干燥；不把食物碎屑长期留在床位；有皮疹、虫咬、感染立即报告。ICE handbook也强调housing area清洁，食品残渣可能招来昆虫。

In a group setting, hygiene is also a safety issue: wash hands often; never share razors, toothbrushes, towels, or anything that may contact blood; keep your bunk dry; don't leave food crumbs on your bed; report rashes, bites, or infections immediately. The ICE handbook also stresses housing-area cleanliness, noting that food debris attracts insects.

8. 为什么书面request比反复口头要求更重要？申诉（Grievance）怎么走？
Why Are Written Requests Better Than Repeated Verbal Ones, and How Does the Grievance Process Work?

在detention facility里，一个非常实用的原则是：重要的事情尽量形成书面记录，例如medical request、medication problem、unsafe housing、missing property、legal call request、access to legal documents、hygiene supplies和grievance。第一次request没解决，保存request number或日期再follow up。

A key practical rule in detention: put important matters in writing — medical requests, medication problems, unsafe housing, missing property, legal call requests, access to legal documents, hygiene supplies, and grievances. If the first request isn't resolved, keep the request number or date and follow up.

9. 法律文件在拘留所里应该怎样保管？
How Should Legal Documents Be Kept Inside the Facility?

法律文件不要和普通物品混在一起，最好把I-862、I-286、court notices、bond documents、attorney letters、declarations和evidence集中整理。ICE表示，律师在legal visit中交给detainee的法律文件可以经过安全检查，但原则上不应阅读其内容；很多facility也支持电子或传真方式传递法律文件。不要拿移民文件换食物、电话卡或其他东西，也不要让其他detainee替你"保管"。

Keep legal papers separate from personal items, and organize the I-862, I-286, court notices, bond documents, attorney letters, declarations, and evidence together. ICE says legal documents an attorney gives a detainee during a legal visit may be security-inspected but generally should not be read, and many facilities support electronic or fax delivery of legal documents. Never trade immigration documents for food, phone cards, or anything else, and don't let other detainees "hold" them for you.

10. 进入拘留所后，应该按什么优先顺序处理事情？
In What Order Should You Handle Things After Entering the Facility?

11. 在拘留所里的表现，会影响Bond申请吗？
Can Your Conduct in Detention Affect Your Bond Case?

会。对于身份过期、无刑事记录、可能走§236(a) bond的当事人，一个很实际的目标是：尽量避免在detention期间发生任何disciplinary incident。打架、违抗命令、contraband、威胁staff等记录，都可能被DHS拿到bond hearing上，用来攻击danger或discretionary release。在facility里保持低冲突、遵守规则，不仅是人身安全问题，也直接关系到bond case。

Yes. For people with expired status and no criminal record who may qualify for a §236(a) bond, a very practical goal is avoiding any disciplinary incident during detention. Fights, disobeying orders, contraband, or threatening staff can all be raised by DHS at the bond hearing to argue danger or oppose discretionary release. Staying low-conflict and following the rules protects both your safety and your bond case.
