Why you can't visit on Mondays: Guilford County Detention visitation schedule explained

General visitation at the Greensboro Detention Center - both in-person and remote - runs Tuesday through Friday. The morning session is 8:30 to 10:00 a.m. If mornings work best for you, build your plan around that window and give yourself time to get signed up before it closes.

There's also an early-afternoon slot Tuesday through Friday, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. It's a shorter window - just an hour - so treat it like an appointment. Know your plan before you arrive.

Can't make daytime hours? Greensboro Detention Center offers evening general visitation Tuesday through Friday from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. The later slot works well after work, but it tends to get busy. Don't wait until the last minute to get in line or sign up.

Monday is completely off the table. No in-person visits, no remote visits - at either the Greensboro or High Point Detention Center. If Monday is your only free day, you'll need to rearrange for a Tuesday–Friday slot.

Visit Frequency and Timing Rules

• ✓ In-person visitation is limited to two visits per week per visitor.
• ✓ Those two in-person visits must be on non-consecutive days (not back-to-back days).

Once you're in the building, keep your expectations realistic: each in-person visit lasts just 20 minutes. That goes fast. Decide ahead of time what you want to cover - updates from home, court dates, the kids, bills - so you're not spending half the visit just getting settled.

1. Check what time the visitation session ends - the cutoff is based on the session’s closing time.
2. Sign up at least 20 minutes before closing - in-person visitors must be signed up at least 20 minutes prior to the visitation closing time to be allowed to visit.
3. Don’t gamble on arriving late - if you miss that sign-up window, you can be denied for that session even if you’re already at the facility.

Practical Planning Tips and Contacts

• ✓ Sign up early in the visitation window instead of aiming for the end - being close to closing time makes it easier to miss the sign-up cutoff.
• ✓ After you register or schedule, double-check the visit time so you’re planning for the right session.
• ✓ If you’re not sure whether your loved one is at Greensboro or High Point, call and confirm before you drive over.
