5 Reasons Your Visit Might Be Denied at Cache County Jail
Getting turned away at the door is frustrating—especially after you've already made the trip. Cache County Jail denies visits for a handful of specific reasons, from active court orders to recent jail stays. Here's what to check before you go.
Getting turned away at the door is frustrating, especially after you've already made the trip. Cache County Jail can deny visits for several reasons: facility operations, security concerns, active protective orders or stalking injunctions, and whether you've recently been booked or housed there yourself.
If there's an active protective order or stalking injunction between you and the person you're visiting, the jail won't allow it. Staff follow what's currently on file - even if the situation has changed in your eyes, that can mean an immediate denial at check-in.
Tip: Not sure if an order is active? Check court records or call jail staff before you travel.
Cache County Jail restricts visits if the visitor was booked or housed there within the past 30 days. Even a brief stay counts. You'll need to wait until that window passes before you can visit.
Note: Had recent contact with the jail? Confirm you're eligible before making travel plans.
Sometimes the denial has nothing to do with you. Visits can be denied due to facility operations or security threats - situations where the jail needs to limit movement, respond to an incident, or address a safety concern affecting visitation.
- Check the status before you leave - if the jail is dealing with an operations or security issue, visitation may be limited or denied.
- Call to confirm visitation is running as scheduled - a quick call can save you a wasted trip.
- Ask if there are any restrictions for that day - if there’s a security threat or operational disruption, staff can tell you what to expect.
What you wear and how you act matters too. Cache County Jail requires visitors to be fully clothed - no sexually suggestive clothing. During the visit, sexually explicit behavior is prohibited, including nudity, explicit conversation, or inappropriate hand gestures. Staff can end a visit on the spot if these rules are broken.
- ✓ Clothing that isn’t fully covering you (not fully clothed)
- ✓ Sexually suggestive outfits
- ✓ See-through clothing
- ✓ Nudity during the visit
- ✓ Sexually explicit conversation
- ✓ Sexually explicit hand gestures
Warning: Break these rules and your visit can be denied - or ended once it's already started.
If you're denied, ask staff exactly why and what you can do to fix it for next time. Denials typically fall into the categories above: operations/security issues, court orders, or the 30-day booking restriction. Getting clarity while you're there is the fastest way to avoid repeat problems. If you're trying to confirm whether someone is currently booked and the information seems unclear, calling is usually your best bet.
- Ask for the reason and next steps - find out whether it’s a temporary issue (like operations/security) or something that requires documentation to resolve.
- Call for current booked-inmate information - the jail directs the public to call (435) 755-1227 for information about booked inmates.
Note: The jail's Current Inmate List is unofficial and may not be complete or accurate. For the most current status, call (435) 755-1227.
