Bristol County's Two-Visit Weekly Limit & Where to Check Visit Schedules

Bristol County allows inmates two 60-minute social visits per week. You can't stack both visits on the same day - they need to be spread across different days.

Check the visiting schedule before you head out. Bristol County posts visit times in each facility's lobby and on the Bristol County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) website. Look at the schedule in advance, then double-check closer to your visit - you don't want to drive out on outdated information.

Visits sometimes get cancelled or adjusted. Bad weather is one of the most common reasons. If conditions look rough, call the Sheriff's Office switchboard at (508) 995-6400 to ask about cancellations or schedule changes.
