Coosa County Jail, AL

Visitation at Coosa County Jail happens every Saturday for general population inmates. Visit times are assigned by cellblock, and each visit lasts 15 minutes. Inmates can have up to two visitors per week, and new inmates must wait one week after booking before receiving visitors. You'll need to be on the inmate's approved visitor list. When you arrive, sign in with your ID on the Jail Visitors Roster (your information gets logged in the Southern Software System), and sign out when you leave. Expect a search with a handheld wand—leave bags and purses in your vehicle. Refuse the search, and you won't get in. Physical-contact visits aren't allowed except for attorneys, law enforcement, approved clergy, and mental health personnel conducting evaluations. Improper dress or bringing contraband can end your visit or bar you from future ones.

Coosa County Jail encourages correspondence but processes all mail with security in mind. Staff open and inspect every incoming piece, checking for contraband and money. Any cash found gets removed and credited to the inmate's account. Day-shift corrections officers handle incoming mail inspection and logging, while night-shift officers process outgoing mail using the Southern Software CAD System. Outgoing items must be stamped with the "Inmate Mail" stamp and placed at the dispatch window for delivery to the Post Office. The jail doesn't accept packages through the mail, and mail from other correctional facilities gets returned to sender. Double-check your addressing and return address before sending.

Service fees and processing times vary by vendor, so review the posted costs and timing before you pay. For bail, Coosa County recognizes four types.
