Harrison County Jail Visiting Rules: What First-Time Visitors Need to Know
Visiting someone at Harrison County Jail is straightforward once you understand the rules. Here's what you need to know to avoid a wasted trip.
Visiting hours are Fridays from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. That's it - one window per week. Plan your day around it.
Each inmate gets one visit per week. If multiple family members want to come, coordinate ahead of time so you don't accidentally use up the week's slot.
Visits last 30 minutes and are non-contact. Prepare kids or first-time visitors for a short conversation without hugs or physical contact.
Only two visitors are allowed per visit. If more people want to see the same person, you'll need to take turns across different weeks.
Anyone under 17 must come with a parent or guardian. No exceptions - if the supervising adult doesn't show, the minor won't get in.
Non-contact visits: There's no physical contact allowed. You'll talk through glass or a video screen, so come prepared for conversation only.
Checkin ID
- ✓ Bring a picture ID (photo ID is required for visitation check-in).
- ✓ Have your ID out and ready when you arrive so check-in goes faster.
Show up sober. Staff can turn you away if you appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs - even if you feel fine.
- ✓ Dress conservatively - staff can deny visitation for improper dress.
- ✓ Wear shoes.
- ✓ Stick to conservative-length shorts, pants, and shirts of conservative length.
- ✓ If you’re female, wear a brassiere (required).
- ✓ Avoid anything too revealing; staff decide what counts as improper attire.
- ✓ Don’t bring anything that could raise contraband concerns - staff may deny visitation if they suspect you’re carrying contraband.
