Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays: Dutchess County Contact & Booth Visit Schedule

Contact visits at Dutchess County Jail happen three days a week: Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Any other day? No contact visits. That includes Saturdays, Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and holidays.

Even with three contact-visit days available, classified incarcerated individuals are limited to two 60-minute contact visits per week. Pick which two days work best - you can't squeeze in a third by showing up all three days.

Booth visits are non-contact, but Dutchess County Jail has a special rule for the start of someone's incarceration: each incarcerated individual gets one booth visit within the first 24 hours. This initial visit is capped at 30 minutes and doesn't count against the weekly visitation allowance - it's designed to help you connect early without eating into regular visits.

• ✓ Morning booth sessions: 8:30am–9:30am and 9:50am–10:50am
• ✓ Afternoon booth sessions: 12:20pm–1:20pm and 1:50pm–2:50pm
• ✓ Sign in at least 30 minutes before the session starts (no exceptions)

1. Confirm whether contact visits are allowed for the person you’re visiting - contact visits are available on Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, but you should check eligibility before you plan around those days.
2. Go in person to schedule your visit for that session - all visits (contact or booth) must be scheduled in person per session; you can’t sign up or reserve a visit by phone.
3. Pick your contact days with the weekly limit in mind - since classified individuals get two 60-minute contact visits per week, decide which two days (Sunday/Tuesday/Thursday) you want to use, and plan the rest of your week around that.
