How to Visit Boone County Jail, KY (KY)
Visiting Boone County Jail is straightforward once you know the rules, how scheduling works, and what to double-check before you go.
You must be 18 or older to visit Boone County Jail unless you're accompanied by an adult. Bringing a child or teen? Make sure an adult is with them the entire time, or you risk being turned away at check-in.
You'll need to sign in when you arrive. Staff may ask for photo identification, so bring a valid photo ID every time, even if you've visited before.
The visitation room limit is strict: only one adult visitor (18+) can be in the room at a time. If more than one person wants to visit, up to three individuals can share the total visit time. That usually means taking turns rather than going in together.
Scheduling reminder: On-site video visits must be scheduled in advance, either through the iWebVisit scheduling site or by visiting the main jail public lobby during visitation days.
Schedule conflict: One jail page lists video visitation as Wednesday 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Another lists Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. with last-name groupings. Confirm which schedule is currently in use before you go.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Make sure all visitors are 18+ (or that anyone under 18 will be accompanied by an adult)
- ✓ Bring valid photo ID and be ready to sign in at the jail
- ✓ Schedule the on-site video visit in advance (through the iWebVisit scheduling site or in the main jail public lobby during visitation days)
Visiting with family? Plan your turn-taking ahead of time. Boone County Jail allows only one adult visitor in the visitation room at a time, and the total visit can be split among no more than three people.
- Check which visitation schedule is active - The jail’s online information shows two different sets of visitation days and times.
- Match your visit to the correct day - One schedule uses Wednesday evenings plus Saturday mornings; the other uses Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday mornings (with Tuesday/Thursday split by last name).
- Plan around the posted time limit - Depending on the schedule being followed, visits are listed as 30 minutes on certain weekdays and 15 minutes on Saturdays.
The most important thing to verify is the current visitation schedule, because the jail's own materials conflict. One statement lists video visitation on Wednesday from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Another lists Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., with A to M visiting Tuesday and N to Z visiting Thursday. Before you leave home, check the jail's official information again or call the jail directly to confirm what schedule they're actually using.
Confirm the scheduling process right before your visit. The jail states that on-site video visits must be scheduled in advance through the iWebVisit scheduling site or by going to the main jail public lobby during visitation days. If you're planning to schedule in person, verify that the lobby option is still available and when staff handle scheduling.
Double-check the basics, especially if you're bringing someone under 18 or your ID situation is complicated. Boone County Jail requires visitors to be 18 or older unless accompanied by an adult. All visitors must sign in and produce valid photo identification if requested.
Before you go: The jail's own statements differ on whether weekday visits are 30 minutes and which weekday applies. Both list Saturday visits as 15 minutes. If your group plans to share time among up to three people, confirm the current time limit and any last-name scheduling rules first.
