Weekend visiting at Chippewa County Jail: a checklist for in-person visits (hours, kids, accessibility)
Weekend visits at Chippewa County Jail are doable—just plan around the set time windows and know the rules for minors. Use the checklist below to avoid surprises at the door, especially if you're bringing children or need accessible access.
In-person visits at Chippewa County Jail happen on weekends only. Two time blocks each day: Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 am–11:00 am, then again from 1:00 pm–4:00 pm. If you're traveling, plan around those windows. Show up outside those hours and you won't get in.
Note: Video visits must be set up at least 24 hours in advance, so same-day scheduling usually won’t work.
Bringing someone under 18? The jail only allows minors who are immediate family - specifically a brother, sister, or child of the inmate. They must be accompanied by a documented parent or legal guardian. If that doesn't fit your situation, the minor won't be permitted into visitation.
Heads up: Children have to be supervised the entire time. If kids are out of control, visitation can be denied.
The visiting areas at Chippewa County Jail are handicapped accessible. If you or a family member uses mobility aids, that should make planning easier.
Checklist
- ✓ Choose a weekend visit window: Saturday or Sunday, 8:00 am–11:00 am or 1:00 pm–4:00 pm
- ✓ If a visitor is under 18, confirm they’re the inmate’s immediate family (brother, sister, or child)
- ✓ Bring the documented parent or documented legal guardian required for any under-18 visitor
- ✓ Plan for active supervision of children throughout the visit - disruptive behavior can mean you’re denied visitation
- ✓ If you need accessible access, note that the visiting areas are handicapped accessible
Before you leave home, confirm any details that could affect check-in - especially if you're bringing a child and need the right documentation. Switching to video instead? Remember that video visitation has to be scheduled at least 24 hours ahead of time.
Traveling a long distance and the regular weekend windows won't work? You can request a special visit. These require prior approval from jail management and need to be arranged in advance - not something you can count on last-minute.
- Call jail management - Contact jail management at 715-738-2964 to ask about arranging a special visit.
- Explain your situation - Let them know you’re traveling a long distance and are requesting a special visit in advance.
- Confirm the plan - Get the approved details directly from jail management before you make the trip.
