Henry County Jail's One‑Adult‑Only Visit Rule: What Families Need to Know

Henry County Jail allows only one adult visitor at a time. That means you can’t have two adults in the same visit slot together - even if you’re both immediate family. If multiple adults want to visit, you’ll need to plan separate visits.

Walk-ins aren't an option here. All visits - video or in-person - must be scheduled in advance through the ICSolutions platform (JailATM). Since you're booking a specific time slot, the one-adult rule applies to that appointment: staff expect a single adult visitor for the slot you reserved.

Treat check-in like an appointment you can't be late to. You need to arrive at the Visitation Desk at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time, with a valid passport or U.S./state-issued photo ID. Show up without acceptable ID or cut it too close, and you risk losing the visit entirely.

Bringing a child? Henry County Jail requires supervision the entire time. Juveniles must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or custodian and cannot be left unattended in the visitation area or lobby. The adult who brings the child stays with them from arrival through the end of the visit.

This is where the one-adult rule really matters for families. Only one adult is allowed at a time, so decide ahead of time who will be the visiting adult if a juvenile is coming - and make sure that person is the parent, guardian, or custodian who can supervise. If two adults planned to come to help manage kids, you'll need a backup plan: separate visits, switching off on different days, or arranging childcare outside the facility.

Practical Tips

• ✓ Alternate adult visitors from one visit to the next so more people get time, without trying to attend the same slot.
• ✓ Schedule video and in-person visits separately through ICSolutions (JailATM), since every visit type still requires an advance booking.
• ✓ Use the ICSolutions (JailATM) schedule to pick a time that works for the one adult who will actually attend that visit.

1. Check availability in ICSolutions (JailATM) - look for open time slots that line up close together.
2. Book consecutive visits if the system allows it - this can help multiple adults visit the same day by taking different slots (still one adult per visit).
3. Plan around the time limit - each visit is limited to 30 minutes, so keep expectations realistic and decide ahead of time what you want to cover.

Ignore staff directions during a visit, and it can be stopped. All visitors are subject to search and must comply with staff instructions. The simplest way to protect your time? Follow directions quickly and keep the focus on the visit.

Rule violations can affect future visits too. Henry County Jail ties visitation privileges to inmate behavior - inmates who break rules may lose visitation rights. Even when things are going smoothly, expect rules to be enforced closely. Each visit is limited to 30 minutes, and staff can end it right on time.
