Boone County Jail, KY

Visiting Boone County Jail takes a little prep, but the rules are straightforward. You must be 18 or older unless accompanied by an adult. Sign in when you arrive and be ready to show photo identification. Scheduled visitors need a valid state-issued ID, consular ID, or passport. The lobby doesn't open before 6:45 a.m., and everyone entering must wear a face mask the entire time inside, regardless of vaccination status. Each inmate may have one adult visitor at a time, and the total visit time can be shared among up to three individuals. Both on-site and video visits last 30 minutes. To schedule a video visit, create an iWebVisit account (Google Chrome is recommended), select the facility and person, then reserve a date and time.

Boone County Jail offers scheduled on-site video visitation, organized by the inmate's last name: A through M on Tuesdays from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., N through Z on Thursdays from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and all last names on Saturdays from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Each on-site session lasts 30 minutes.

Options can differ by vendor and service type, so check the vendor site for what's allowed.
