What You Can't Bring to Cumberland County Jail: Visitor Checklist
Heading to Cumberland County Jail for a visit? Pack light. Use the checklists below to avoid bringing prohibited items, including the special rule about cellphones.
Cumberland County Jail doesn't allow revealing clothing for visitors. A good rule of thumb: dress like you're going to a government building. Conservative, everyday clothes that don't show too much skin will keep you from getting turned away at check-in.
Reminder: Do not display visual gang signs while on jail property. This applies to your behavior while you are there for a visit.
Explicitly Not Allowed
- ✓ Cellphones (not permitted inside unless approved by the Jail Administrator)
- ✓ Weapons, including pocket knives
- ✓ Mace or pepper spray
- ✓ Other electronic devices (including laptops and tablets)
- ✓ Metal or glass items
- ✓ Food or drink items

- ✓ Umbrellas
- ✓ Pagers

Cellphones are not permitted inside Cumberland County Jail unless the Jail Administrator gives approval. If you think you have a legitimate reason to bring your phone, get that permission beforehand. Showing up with it at the door doesn't guarantee you'll be allowed in.
