Before Your First On‑Site Visit to Cherokee County Jail: What to Bring and What to Leave Behind

You'll need to schedule your visit at least one day ahead through iWebVisit.com. Each inmate has an assigned visitation day, and they're limited to one on-site visit per day - only on that specific day. Double-check you're booking the correct day before making the trip.

Bringing someone under 18? Sort that out before you arrive. You must be at least 18 to use iWebVisit.com, and minors need an adult with them for on-site or remote visits. If staff think a visitor looks under 18 and they're alone, that person won't be allowed to visit until they show a valid, government-issued photo ID proving their age.

You'll go through screening before entering the visitation area. All visitors are subject to search - refuse, and you won't get in. The easiest way to avoid delays is to leave prohibited items at home.

Cherokee County enforces strict behavior rules. Any illegal activity - including disrobing or sexual behavior on or off camera - ends the visit immediately with no refund. You'll also be blocked from all visitation for at least seven days, and criminal charges are possible. Even without issues, remember the limits: visits are 30 minutes max, and only two visitors can be at a terminal at once.

Most denials come down to two things: refusing the required search (which blocks entry) or inappropriate behavior (which ends the visit immediately, forfeits your payment, and triggers at least a seven-day visitation block - plus possible criminal charges). Follow staff directions, keep things appropriate, and you'll avoid the problems that trip up most first-time visitors.
