What to bring (and what to leave home) — check-in & rules for Henry County Jail visits
Visiting Henry County Jail goes smoother when you show up with the right ID, arrive early, and leave prohibited items at home. Here's your quick checklist before you walk in.
Bring a valid passport or a U.S./state-issued photo ID. You’ll need to present it at check-in, and you won’t be allowed to visit without it.
Note: If you’re bringing a juvenile, they must be with a parent, guardian, or custodian the entire time and can’t be left unattended in the lobby or visitation area.
Head to the upstairs lobby when you arrive. That's where you'll register and start the check-in process before entering the visitation area.
Get there early. Henry County Jail requires visitors to check in at the Visitation Desk at least 15 minutes before the scheduled visit time. Cut it close and you risk missing your visit entirely.
Don't show up expecting to be squeezed in - all visits, video or in-person, must be scheduled in advance through the ICSolutions/JailATM platform.
Planning to add money to an inmate's account? Use the kiosk machine in the jail lobby. Henry County Jail requires all monetary deposits to go through that kiosk.
