How to find an inmate
Vieques has no jail. People in custody are moved to Department of Correction and Rehabilitation (DCR) facilities on the main island of Puerto Rico. Call DCR headquarters in San Juan with the person's full name and date of birth to find out which institution holds them, whether they are awaiting trial or serving a sentence.
Visitation
Visits happen at the DCR institution on the main island where the person is housed, so plan for travel from Vieques. Visitors usually need prior approval and valid ID. Confirm current visiting rules and schedules with the institution.
Bail and bond
A judge of the Court of First Instance sets bail (fianza) after an arrest in Vieques. Pretrial release involves the court and the Pretrial Services Office. Contact the court handling the case for posting instructions.
Mail and money
Mail should go to the DCR institution holding the person, with their full name and inmate number. Commissary deposits follow DCR procedures. Confirm accepted methods and limits with DCR or the institution.
