What to Bring (and What to Leave Behind) for a Visit at Garland County Detention
Visits go a lot smoother when you show up with the right ID, dressed within the rules, and with as little in your hands as possible. Use the checklist below to avoid delays or getting turned away at Garland County Detention.
If you are an adult (18 or older), bring a government-issued photo ID. Staff use it to confirm your identity before you can enter for visitation.
- ✓ County jail booking sheets
- ✓ County jail armbands
- ✓ Photocopies of a driver’s license or state ID
- ✓ Oaklawn IDs
- ✓ ADC IDs
Leave your personal belongings in your vehicle if at all possible. If that's not an option, you'll need to store everything in a provided locker. Purses, bags, backpacks, and similar items aren't allowed in the visitation area. Arriving with only what you truly need gets you through check-in faster.
