How to Visit Harrison County Jail (MO)
Visiting at Harrison County Jail is straightforward once you know the schedule and follow the rules at the door. Here's what's confirmed, and what you should double-check before you go.
Harrison County Jail allows inmate visits on Fridays from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. Schedules can shift, so confirm the hours before you travel. This is especially true if you're coming from out of town.
Note: If you appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, staff will turn you away. If there's any chance you could come across that way, reschedule for another day.
Right now, the only confirmed details are the visiting hours and the under-the-influence refusal rule. You'll need to check with the facility directly on everything else: whether visits require scheduling ahead of time, what ID you need, the dress code, who's allowed to visit, how many visitors can come at once, how long visits last, whether they're contact or non-contact, and any unit-specific restrictions.
Steps
- ✓ Plan your visit for Friday between 1:00pm and 4:00pm.
- ✓ Arrive sober. If you appear under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you will not be allowed to visit.
- ✓ Before you leave home, confirm what ID (and any paperwork) you need to bring so you do not get turned away at check-in.
- Confirm the visiting hours before you go - Ask the jail to verify that visitation is still Fridays, 1:00pm to 4:00pm, and whether there are any holiday changes or inmate-specific restrictions that affect that window.
- Ask how the jail applies the under-the-influence rule - The policy is that anyone who appears under the influence of alcohol or drugs will be denied visitation. Ask what staff look for and whether there are any related screening steps at check-in.
- ✓ Visitor ID requirements (and whether expired IDs are accepted)
- ✓ Dress code expectations
- ✓ Whether you need to schedule/register in advance
- ✓ Whether visits are in-person, video, or both
- ✓ Rules for minors visiting and whether a parent/guardian is required
- ✓ Allowed and prohibited items (phone, keys, bags, paperwork)
- ✓ Photo, recording, and locker/storage rules
- ✓ Limits on visit length and number of visitors
For the most reliable answers, go straight to official Harrison County sources (the county government website) or contact the jail directly. The county sheriff's office is another good option. If you spot conflicting information on third-party sites, call ahead and go with whatever jail staff confirm for that day.
