How to Visit Hillsborough County Jail, FL (FL)

Hillsborough County Jail offers Video Visitation Services (VVS) during a daily window that typically runs 9:30 am to 8:45 pm. Each inmate gets two hours of prescheduled, no-cost VVS time per week, so you can plan regular visits without paying for every session. Inmates can also start on-demand video visits for a fee. It's worth checking with your loved one whether they're using the no-cost allotment or initiating a paid on-demand session.

If you're a qualified professional visitor, Hillsborough County Jail offers in-person professional visitation seven days a week, 6:00 am to 11:00 pm. Court-appointed professionals need to fax the required documentation to the correct facility: Falkenburg Road Jail at 813-242-1885, or Orient Road Jail at 813-242-1881. You'll also need to register with both your driver's license and your professional identification (a Florida BAR card, for example).

1. Confirm you are using VVS - Public visitation is handled through Video Visitation Services, not an onsite Visitation Center.
2. Plan around the typical VVS window - VVS is typically available between 9:30 am and 8:45 pm, so aim for that range when coordinating a visit.
3. Use the weekly no-cost time first - Each inmate is allotted two hours of prescheduled no-cost VVS per week, so ask your loved one to schedule within that allotment when possible.
4. Expect fees for inmate-initiated on-demand visits - On-demand video sessions initiated by the inmate are available for a fee, which can affect how often you can visit and when.

1. Confirm you qualify as a professional visitor - Professional visitation is a separate track from public video visits.
2. Gather both required IDs - Bring your driver’s license plus your professional identification (for example, a Florida BAR card) for registration.
3. Fax court-appointed paperwork to the correct jail - Send required documentation to Falkenburg Road Jail (813-242-1885) or Orient Road Jail (813-242-1881), depending on where the person is housed.
4. Schedule within the professional visiting hours - Qualified in-person professional visits are available seven days a week from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm.
