How to Visit Facility

Holmes County Jail allows 30 minutes of visitation per week per inmate. That's the inmate's total weekly allotment, not 30 minutes per visitor. Up to four visitors can be present during that scheduled window, so coordinate ahead of time. Make sure everyone who wants to visit knows exactly who's going and when.

Minors are not allowed to visit. Anyone under 18 will be turned away at Holmes County Jail. If you bring children, they must stay in the lobby waiting area with an adult who can supervise them.

Pack light. Cell phones, cameras, electronic devices, purses, and bags are all prohibited in the visitation area. Leave those items secured elsewhere before you check in, or you'll be turned away at the door.

• ✓ Bring a photo ID for check-in
• ✓ Arrive at least 30 minutes before the scheduled visitation end time so you can receive your full visit

• ✓ Confirm you are planning around the inmate’s total limit of 30 minutes of visitation per week (not per visitor)
• ✓ Decide who will be included in the up-to-four visitors allowed during that 30-minute period

Before you make the trip, confirm how the jail schedules the inmate's 30 minutes per week. Ask whether it's offered as one block or split into separate times. Double-check the arrival requirement, too: you must be there at least 30 minutes before the scheduled end time to get your full visit. It's also smart to ask how the "up to four visitors" rule works in practice, since that limit is tied to the inmate's weekly visit period.

Verify what forms of photo ID are accepted at check-in, especially if you plan to use something other than a driver's license. Ask for the current list of prohibited items and find out where you can store personal property, since phones, purses, bags, and electronics aren't allowed in the visitation area. Traveling with kids? Confirm how the jail handles the lobby waiting area supervision rule, since anyone under 18 cannot visit.
