How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Hillsborough County Jail is transitioning to remote video visitation—the onsite Visitation Center closes October 28, 2025. After that, all Video Visitation Services (VVS) will be remote only. VVS hours typically run 9:30 am to 8:45 pm. Each inmate gets two hours of prescheduled no-cost video visits per week, with on-demand sessions available for a fee. Phone service for general population is outgoing only, usually available 7:30 am to 10:30 pm, and includes some no-cost weekly calls. Professional visits are available daily from 6:00 am to 11:00 pm—court-appointed professionals must fax required documentation to the facility. Schedules and approval steps vary, so follow the jail's instructions for getting on an approved visitor list and completing any visitor application before you travel.
