Scheduling Visits at Bedford County Correctional Facility: the 24‑Hour Rule, One Visit Per Week, and What to Expect When You Arrive

Each inmate at Bedford County Correctional Facility can receive one visit per week. If multiple family members want to visit, you'll need to coordinate who goes when. Visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance. Slots fill up first come, first served based on available space, so call as soon as you know your schedule to get a time that works.

To schedule a visit, call the facility directly. The policy doesn't list a specific phone number, so check the facility's official website or contact the county's main switchboard to confirm you're calling the right line.

Visits last 45 minutes. The facility uses the time between visits to clean and sanitize the visitation area. Show up prepared and ready to start on time. Any minutes spent sorting out check-in issues come out of your visit - you won't get them back.

You can check in only five minutes before your scheduled time. Bring a valid photo ID or driver's license - it's required. You'll sign in on a sheet, then head to the visitation room. There's no waiting area inside the facility, so plan your arrival carefully. Be nearby and ready to walk in during that five-minute window.

Practical Tips

• ✓ Call to schedule at least 24 hours ahead, and book as soon as you’re sure you can make it - slots are filled based on space available.
• ✓ Confirm the correct scheduling phone number through an official county or facility source before you call.
• ✓ Plan to be on the property early, but remember you can only check in five minutes before the scheduled time.
• ✓ Bring your identification (ID and/or driver’s license) and be ready to complete the sign-in sheet.
• ✓ If something comes up and you can’t attend, call as soon as you can so the slot can be freed up for someone else.
