How Many Times Can You Visit Per Day? Atlantic County's Visit Limits, Group Size, and HSS Rules

At the Atlantic County Justice Facility, inmates are permitted one visitation per day. That means if multiple family members or friends want to see the same person, you will need to coordinate ahead of time and decide who is using that day’s visit.

• ✓ Up to two adults may visit an inmate at one time.
• ✓ Up to two children may visit an inmate at one time.
• ✓ If more people want to visit, plan to rotate visitors across different days (since the group limit applies per visit).

People housed in the HSS area have a stricter limit: one visit per weekend. This overrides the general one-visit-per-day rule. Before you make the drive or set expectations with kids and other family members, confirm whether your loved one is currently in HSS. Otherwise, you could plan for more visits than the unit allows.

Inmates in isolation or quarantine cannot receive visits until they are medically cleared. If your visit request gets denied or you are told visits are unavailable, this is one of the most common reasons. The restriction is medical, not about your eligibility as a visitor.

1. Confirm the inmate’s current status: If the person is housed in the HSS area, they are limited to one visit per weekend. If they are in isolation or quarantine, visits are not allowed until medically cleared.
2. Pick one visit slot per day: Since inmates are permitted one visitation per day, decide as a group who will attend that day so you do not double-book the same person.
3. Build your visiting group within the cap: Keep each visit to no more than two adults and no more than two children.
4. Prioritize your weekend plan for HSS housing: If your loved one is in HSS, choose the weekend visit carefully, because you only get one for the entire weekend.
5. Have a backup plan: If isolation or quarantine restrictions apply, be ready to postpone and try again after medical clearance.
