How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Public in-person visiting hours at Forsyth County Detention Center run 9:00–11:30 AM, 1:00–3:00 PM, and 5:30–7:30 PM. You must register at least 30 minutes before a visitation block ends. Attorneys follow a different schedule—they can visit any day between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM. Ordained clergy and licensed ministers can request non-contact pastoral visits that don't count toward an inmate's two visits per week. Clergy may also get one 30-minute daily visit in regular visitation rooms during specified time blocks (except Friday). To qualify, clergy must provide three of four proofs: a ministry license, ordination certificate, church staff position, or representation of a religious order. Before you go, confirm you're on the inmate's approved visitor list and complete any required scheduling or application steps.
