How to Visit Calloway County Jail, KY (KY)

Calloway County Jail runs separate visitation schedules for the main jail and for workhouse/work release. For the main jail, male inmate visitation is Wednesday and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Female inmate visitation runs 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM on those same days. Each visit lasts 25 minutes. The jail allows 2 adult visitors plus unlimited children per main-jail visit. If you're bringing kids, plan around that adult limit so no one gets turned away at check-in. Workhouse and work release visitation is every Sunday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. These visits last 45 minutes and are non-contact (behind glass). The posted schedule doesn't cover ID requirements, dress code, or what you can bring, so call the facility to confirm those rules before you go.

Note: Workhouse/work release visits are non-contact (behind glass) and must be scheduled by phone. Spots fill first-come, first-served, so call early in the scheduling window.

For male main-jail visits, the jail uses specific sign-in times rather than one open window. The posted times are 8:00 AM, 9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM, and 2:00 PM. Arrive at one of those times. Showing up between slots won't work.

Steps to Follow

  • ✓ Call on the Sunday prior (8:30 AM to 3:30 PM) to sign up for a Wednesday main-jail visit.
  • ✓ Call on the Thursday prior (8:30 AM to 3:30 PM) to sign up for a Saturday main-jail visit.
  • ✓ To schedule a workhouse/work release visit, call on Saturday between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM.
  • ✓ For workhouse scheduling, treat it as first-come, first-served and call as early in the window as you can.
  • ✓ Use the correct main-jail time window: males Wednesday and Saturday, 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM; females 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM (on the listed visitation days).
  • ✓ Expect main-jail visits to last 25 minutes.
  • ✓ Plan your group size for the main jail: 2 adult visitors and unlimited children per visit.
  • ✓ If your person is in the workhouse or work release, visits are Sunday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, last 45 minutes, and are non-contact behind glass.

Before you make the trip, call to confirm the current visitation days and times for the main jail. Ask about the call-in signup windows too (Sunday prior for Wednesday visits, Thursday prior for Saturday visits). Get the correct phone number for scheduling, and ask whether slots are filling up quickly.

Double-check the visit length (25 minutes for main jail) and the sign-in slot times for male main-jail visitation: 8:00 AM, 9:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 1:00 PM, and 2:00 PM. Also confirm visitor rules that aren't in the posted schedule, like ID requirements, any paperwork for adult visitors, and how children should be supervised during the visit.
