What You Can't Bring to an Onsite Visit at Bartow County Jail (and What Happens If You Do)
Heading to an onsite visit at Bartow County Detention Center? Keep it simple. Bringing the wrong item can end your visit immediately — and get you banned from future ones.
Bartow County Detention Center has a strict policy on prohibited items in the visitation area. Get caught with a cell phone or purse? Your visit ends on the spot, and you could be banned from visiting that inmate again. The safest move: bring only what's explicitly allowed. Leave everything else at home or locked in your car.
Note: All onsite visits are subject to monitoring, recording, and review at any time.
Examples Items
- ✓ Cell phones (leave it in your car)
- ✓ Purses (don’t bring it into the visitation area)
- ✓ Similar personal items that aren’t allowed in the visitation area
This "don't risk it" approach applies even outside the building. During Home Visits, showing cell phone images or wearing inappropriate clothing can also get your visit cut short - and cost you future visits.
There's no warning here, no "put it away and we'll continue." Staff can terminate your visit the moment they find prohibited items like a cell phone or purse. Worse, it can trigger a ban from visiting that inmate at Bartow County Detention Center again. Double-check your pockets before you walk in.
High-stakes reminder: A phone or purse can end your visit and block you from future ones. The same goes for Home Visits - showing cell phone images or wearing inappropriate clothing carries the same consequences.
Practical Tips
- ✓ Arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled onsite visitation appointment so you have time to check in with visitation staff
- ✓ Before you go inside, do a quick pocket-and-bag check so you’re not accidentally carrying a phone or other prohibited personal items
- ✓ Keep your visit “clean” from start to finish - onsite visits can be monitored, recorded, and reviewed at any time
Warning: Because visits may be monitored, recorded, and reviewed, violations can be seen and acted on - and prohibited items can mean an immediate termination and a ban from future visits.
