How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at Columbia County Prison takes a little planning, but it's manageable once you know the rules. Visits must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance and can be booked up to two weeks ahead. Newly arriving residents cannot receive visits until after a 48-hour classification period, and same-day rules may vary by housing unit. On-site, face-to-face visits are limited to one 30-minute session per resident each week, with a two-adult limit in the visiting area. Weekend times are set by housing unit. You must be on the resident's Visitation List, sign the visitor log, and show valid photo ID if you are 17 or older. Expect a search and metal detector screening. Use the waiting-room lockers for outerwear and similar items. Do not bring pictures, mail, phones, or other electronics. Visits may be monitored or recorded, and certain custody statuses may require Administration approval for face-to-face visits.
