Visitation at Branch County Jail

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

Branch County Jail's official visitation webpage currently returns an "access forbidden" message, so the facility's online visitation details aren't accessible right now. Like many Michigan county jails, Branch County has likely shifted to a video-first system. Visits happen through onsite kiosks in the lobby or remote sessions over the internet, rather than traditional face-to-face meetings. You'll typically need to register and get approved before scheduling an appointment. Sessions are commonly recorded and monitored, and breaking rules can end your visit and affect future privileges. For remote visits, have a computer, tablet, or smartphone with a working camera and reliable internet ready (some systems also require an app or test connection). Bring a valid government-issued photo ID for check-in.
