Visiting Boone County Jail: schedule, ID, masks, and visitor limits
Visiting someone at Boone County Jail takes a bit of planning—get the schedule right, bring valid ID, and know the lobby rules. The sections below will help you pick the right day, schedule your visit, and avoid being turned away.
Last names A through M? The jail lists visitation on Tuesday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Double-check the booking name before you plan your trip - the last-name split matters.
Last names N through Z are listed for Thursday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Not sure which name the jail has on file - maybe a hyphenated name? Confirm before you go.
Note: Boone County Jail’s posted visitation information includes conflicting day listings (one version mentions Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday mornings, while another mentions Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings). Plan to verify the current schedule before you travel.
Saturday is also listed as a visitation day, 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. It appears in multiple places in the jail's posted materials, even though the weekday details don't match perfectly across different versions.
Saturday visits are 15 minutes per inmate. That's a short window, so arrive ready to check in and start on time.
Only one adult visitor (18 or older) is allowed in the visitation room at a time. If you're coming with others, you can share the total visit time - but only up to three people total. You may need to rotate in and out.
You must be 18 or older to visit, unless you're accompanied by an adult. Bringing a minor? Plan for the adult to handle check-in as the primary visitor.
- ✓ Sign in at the jail when you arrive
- ✓ Be prepared to show valid photo identification if requested
- ✓ If you’re scheduling a visit in advance, bring a valid state-issued ID, consular ID, or passport
Mask rule: Everyone entering the jail must wear a face mask the entire time they’re inside, regardless of vaccination status.
- Go to the public lobby to schedule - On-site video visits must be scheduled in advance by visiting the public lobby during visitation days.
- Use the posted visitation-day window - One schedule text lists Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for lobby scheduling.
- Watch for the alternate day listing - Another schedule text lists Wednesday from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for scheduling (and also mentions iWebVisit).
- Create an iWebVisit account - Set up your account to start scheduling.
- Select the facility and the person you want to visit - Choose Boone County Jail and the incarcerated person.
- Reserve your date and time - Pick an available slot and reserve it so you’re not guessing on visit day.
Before you make the drive, confirm the current schedule. The jail's posted information includes conflicting versions: one lists on-site video visitation on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., with assigned days by last name (A–M on Tuesday mornings, N–Z on Thursday mornings). Another version shows Wednesday evenings (6:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m.) and Saturday mornings (7:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.). Since these don't line up, calling ahead can save you a wasted trip.
- ✓ Confirm the current visitation day/time with the jail before you go
- ✓ If you’re scheduling on-site, plan to sign in at the lobby as part of the process
