What to Bring and Who Can Visit at Adams County Jail: ID, Minors, and Visitor Restrictions
Visiting someone at Adams County Jail goes smoothly when you know two things upfront: whether you're eligible to visit, and what ID and clothing rules you need to follow. Here's what you need to avoid a wasted trip.
Adams County Jail automatically disqualifies certain visitors. If you're on probation, you won't be allowed in. Same goes for anyone with a pending felony or misdemeanor case. Restrictions also apply based on the inmate's current case. Victims in the inmate's pending case cannot visit. Neither can anyone with a current order of protection against the inmate.
Note: If you’re on probation, have a pending felony or misdemeanor case, or have a current order of protection against the inmate, you will not be allowed to visit.
