How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting someone at Forsyth County Jail takes a little planning, especially the first time. You'll need to get approved as a visitor and schedule an appointment in advance through the facility's visitation process. Book early, since slots can fill up fast. Bring a valid government-issued photo ID for check-in, and expect dress code and conduct rules to be enforced. If you have questions about hours, scheduling, or special circumstances, the jail publishes a 24-hour phone line and administrative office hours. To add commissary funds, create an account on the Jail ATM website and use the send-money option. For property or evidence pickup, schedule an appointment beforehand and bring a valid government photo ID.
