Citrus County Detention Facility, FL

The sources didn't include Citrus County–specific visitation rules or a published schedule for Citrus County Detention Facility, so confirm visiting times and the visit format (in-person vs. video) directly with the facility before you travel. You'll likely need to be on the inmate's approved visitor list and complete a visitor application—some facilities require one application per adult and ask for documentation for minors. Bring a valid, government-issued photo ID (driver's license or passport) and be prepared for advance approval steps like background checks. Don't make the trip until you've been officially notified that your visitor application is approved. Procedures vary by facility and visit type.

Address mail to the facility's official inmate mailing address and include the inmate's full name and ID number, plus your full return name and address. Missing details can get mail sent back. The facility follows standard USPS restrictions—no hazardous materials, perishables, obscene material, or postal trademark imitations—and bans additional items like certain photos, city maps, oversized greeting cards, and anything designed to hide contraband. Want to send books? They must ship directly from approved vendors like Barnes & Noble or Hamilton Books. Amazon deliveries aren't accepted. Privileged mail goes only to approved special correspondents under separate procedures. For ICE detainees, general mail is opened in the detainee's presence unless security authorizes otherwise. Detainees can also reject all general correspondence, which gets returned to sender.

Citrus County Detention Facility (CAFCC) won't accept money at visitation or through the mail. You'll need to use the Money Transfer instructions on the facility's CCA page to deposit funds. That page lists approved deposit channels and any required vendor steps. Depending on what's offered, common options include an online payment portal, a lobby kiosk, phone deposit, or sending a money order or cashier's check (only if the vendor and facility allow it). Methods, fees, and rules vary—review the facility instructions and vendor directions before you pay. Have the inmate's full name and booking/ID number ready, fill out all required fields clearly, and note that some senders may need to be authorized.

Start with the facility's contact page, which includes emergency phone numbers for chaplain offices and the Executive Assistant. For routine questions about detainee status, booking information, or general inquiries, use the front desk or other non-emergency phone lines listed there. If there's an immediate threat to life or public safety involving an inmate, call local emergency services (911) instead of the facility's non-emergency lines. Records and court-related requests often require formal steps—specific forms or requests submitted by email, fax, mail, or an online portal—so follow the facility's records instructions. For phone accounts, commissary, payments, and billing issues, contact the third-party vendor customer service channels listed on the facility page.
