When Can I Visit? Visitation Hours for Curry County Detention Center (including SMU and new arrivals)

For all male and female housing units, visitation runs Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Weekends have extended hours - Friday through Sunday, you can visit from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Note: All personal visits are conducted by video through gettingout.com, and you’ll need to create an account there before you can use the system.

Special Management Unit (SMU) visits work differently. These are in-person visits held at the facility, but you'll need an appointment. The available window is Monday through Sunday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

If someone just arrived at the jail - whether they turned themselves in or were transported from another facility - they may be restricted from visitation for 24 to 48 hours. This waiting period is standard, so don't worry if you can't connect right away.

Exception: Even during the 24–48 hour restriction, newly arrived inmates are still allowed attorney and clergy visitation. Clergy must show identification and sign the visitor log in the main lobby, and clergy visits are limited to 15 minutes.
