Forsynth County Jail

Visiting someone at Forsyth County Jail takes a little planning, especially the first time. You'll need to get approved as a visitor and schedule an appointment in advance through the facility's visitation process. Book early, since slots can fill up fast. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID for check-in, and expect dress code and conduct rules to be enforced. If you have questions about hours, scheduling, or special circumstances, the jail publishes a 24-hour phone line and administrative office hours. To add commissary funds, create an account on the Jail ATM website and use the send-money option. For property or evidence pickup, schedule an appointment beforehand and bring a valid government photo ID.

Forsyth County Jail gives you two ways to add funds: deposit at the lobby kiosk (credit card, debit card, or cash) or send money online through the Jail ATM website by creating an account and selecting "send money now." Commissary also runs through Jail ATM, so friends and family must use that system to order commissary items and care packages. Outside commissary packages ordered elsewhere are not accepted. Have the inmate's full name and facility details ready so your deposit gets credited correctly. Keep in mind that money added to an inmate's account may go toward outstanding debts or fees first. Whatever remains after that becomes available for commissary purchases.
