What You Can (and Can't) Bring to a Visit at Harris County Jail - Baker
Visiting at Harris County Jail - Baker goes smoothly when you know two things upfront: you can't bring personal items into the visit, and the dress code is strictly enforced. Here's what you need to know to avoid getting turned away.
Storage lockers are available in the lobby, and you'll need to use them. During your visit, you can't have anything on you except the locker key - no phone, no wallet, no exceptions. Everything you bring gets secured before you enter the visiting area.
Arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled visit. That gives staff time to verify your ID and lets you store your belongings without feeling rushed.
