Visiting Someone at Alachua County Jail: What to Know Before You Go
Visiting someone in jail is a lot easier when you show up prepared. Here are the key details to confirm before heading to Alachua County Jail.
Alachua County Jail is located at 3333 NE 39th Avenue, Gainesville, FL 32609.
Your best starting point is the Alachua County Jail inmate handbook, published through the county's PowerDMS document page (document ID 920). In the table of contents, you'll find a dedicated "Visitation Rules" section under "Communication and Correspondence" (page 25). That's where the jail spells out what visitors need to follow. There's also a separate "Visitation Schedule" entry on page 28. Since the schedule and the rules are in different sections, check both before you go.
Before you go: Read the handbook's "Visitation Rules" section carefully so you know the current requirements, including what to bring and what you can wear or carry in.
Looking to visit remotely instead of in person? Check the same inmate handbook on the county's PowerDMS page to confirm what remote visit options are available and where the jail posts current instructions.
