Main jail visitation happens on Wednesday and Saturday. For males, visiting runs 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM with sign-in times at 8:00, 9:00, 10:00, 12:00, 1:00, and 2:00. Female visitation is 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM, with sign-in at 3:30 PM and 4:30 PM. All in-person visits at the main jail last 25 minutes, so plan for a short, focused conversation. Workhouse and work release visitation works differently. Visits happen every Sunday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. These are 45-minute, non-contact visits (behind glass). Each inmate can have two visitors, plus unlimited children. Scheduling is first-come, first-served. Call on Saturday starting at 8:00 AM to reserve a spot.
Heads up about video visits and calls: A deputy must be present or monitoring through VendEngine, and all video visits are recorded. Nudity, drugs, alcohol, illegal activity, and abusive or disruptive behavior will get the visit terminated.
