The Bedford Heights Correctional Facility, located in the Bedford Heights Police Department is also home to the ICE detention center. It is a small center with only a few spaces to detail people, however each cell is a single and allows people to stay without doubling up on detainees in cells. It also lacks advanced and additional services as people are not remaining long term. It is used to hold people who are awaiting trial locally, who are awaiting a bond hearing, and those who are being transferred to or from other facilities.

An online search allows for people to locate friends or family who are being held in custody, or it can be determined via phone call.

Due to the temporary nature of the location, mail may not be processed quickly enough to be fully delivered before the inmate is released or transferred, so care packages are not encouraged.

Money can be added to an account while they are in the building through a kiosk in the lobby. In person visiting hours are 9 am to 6 pm, and inmates can place phone calls any day. Visitors must be approved in advance and dressed appropriately.
