How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Start by checking the county's website for the detention center's office hours and street address. There's also a 24-hour non-emergency phone number for the sheriff's office if you need to confirm current requirements. Looking for someone who was recently released? The county roster site includes a 48-hour release list. The county also runs Project Lifesaver, with monthly home visits to check armbands, replace batteries, and verify devices are working. Exact visiting hours and rules aren't listed publicly, so call ahead before you go. In Alabama, it's common for jails to require visitor registration (sometimes online), advance scheduling for video visits, and on-site sign-in with ID verification.
