Before Your First Visit to Danville City Jail: A Practical Checklist

Bring a valid photo ID every time. Staff check it at each visit - prior approval doesn't get you through the door without one. A current driver's license works, as does any government-issued photo ID that isn't expired.

Items

  • Weapons
  • Illegal drugs
  • Alcohol
  • Cameras
  • Cell phones
  • Other electronic items

Plan around the inmate's assigned slot. Danville City Jail gives each inmate a 30-minute visitation window, and they're responsible for telling you when it is. Arrive about 10 minutes early to complete processing - showing up right at start time can put you behind.

Rules

  • Expect to be searched - all visitors are subject to search.
  • Don’t smoke during visitation - smoking isn’t permitted.

You can bring money for the person you're visiting, but only if you're on their approved visitation list. Double-check your status before bringing cash - without list approval, you may not be allowed to deposit funds.
