Who Can't Visit (And When You Can Visit Again) at Fayette County Jail
Fayette County Jail has visitor-eligibility rules that catch families off guard—especially the 60-day waiting period for anyone recently incarcerated there. Here's how the restriction works and what you can do to get approved once you're eligible.
If you were previously incarcerated at Fayette County Jail, you can't visit someone currently housed there until 60 days have passed since your release. This is a hard cutoff - even with valid ID and no other issues, your visit request will be denied if you're inside that window. Once the 60 days pass, you can register and go through the normal approval process.
Note: If you were previously incarcerated at Fayette County Jail, you must wait 60 days after your release before you can be approved to visit a current inmate.

- ✓ You must be 18 or older to register and schedule a visit.
- ✓ Each inmate can have a maximum of two visitors at a time: two adults, or one authorized adult plus one minor who is the inmate’s natural or adopted child.
- ✓ Inmates are allowed one 30-minute visit per week.
- ✓ Visitors can use the on-site visitation kiosks only once per week.
Your ID makes or breaks approval. During registration, you'll need to submit a clear photo of your government-issued photo ID. No ID submission, no visit - even if you meet every other requirement.
Fayette County Jail doesn't allow in-person visits for the general public. Attorneys are the exception: they can visit any day from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM without an appointment, as long as they bring valid photo ID and a BAR card.
Before you can schedule a visit, you'll need to register through the GTL VisitMe site and create an account. If the 60-day post-release restriction applies to you, wait until that window closes before trying to schedule - otherwise your approval can get blocked even after you've completed signup.
