Bryan County Jail's Free Visit Policy: One Free Visit Every 30 Days

Each inmate at Bryan County Jail gets one free in-house visit every 30 days. This is a rolling 30-day window, not a "one free visit per calendar month" setup. If you want to avoid charges, keep track of that 30-day timing so you don't accidentally schedule a second in-house visit before the window resets.

The "one free every 30 days" rule is about cost, not how many visits can happen on a given day. Daily limits still apply: each inmate can have up to 2 visits per day, each lasting 20 minutes, with a 10-minute cool-down period between them. Even if you're paying for additional in-house visits, you can't stack unlimited back-to-back sessions on the same day.

Any in-house visits beyond the free one within a 30-day window cost $10 per visit. If you're budgeting, it helps to plan ahead. You can save the free visit for a specific date and pay for extras, or simply wait until the 30-day window resets.

• ✓ Schedule all in-house visits at least 24 hours in advance.
• ✓ If you do not have internet access, there are limited openings for Saturday on-site kiosk visitation in the detention center lobby, and those still need to be scheduled 24 hours in advance.

Family and friends sign up for visits through the NCIC video visitation system. Create your account first, then follow the prompts to select the inmate and request an available time slot.

Set expectations before you go. All Bryan County Jail visits are video only and no-contact, including in-house visits. You won't be in the same room as the inmate, and there's no physical contact during the visit.

If you're visiting from home (off-site), remote visitation is available daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Those longer hours make it easier to work around job schedules, school pickups, and time zone differences.

Attorney and counsel visits are handled separately from personal visits. Rather than signing up through the NCIC personal visitation system, legal visits need to be scheduled directly with the jail administrator.

Planning Budgeting Tips

• ✓ Mark the date of the last free in-house visit so you can keep the “one free in-house visit every 30 days” benefit.
• ✓ If you need more in-house time before the 30 days are up, budget for the $10 per additional in-house visit.
• ✓ Build around the daily limits: up to 2 visits per day, 20 minutes each, plus a 10-minute cool-down between visits.
• ✓ Schedule in-house visits at least 24 hours ahead so you do not lose the slot.
• ✓ Get registered through the NCIC video visitation sign-up system before you try to book a visit.
• ✓ Use remote visitation hours (daily, 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM) to find the least stressful time to connect.
