How to Prepare for a Family Visit at IAH Polk Adult Detention Facility
Prepare for a family visit at IAH Polk Adult Detention Facility with visiting hours, arrival timing, identification, screening and visitor limits.
IAH Polk Adult Detention Facility, also called IAH Secure Adult Detention Facility, is at 3400 FM 350 South in Livingston. As updated August 12, 2026, friends-and-family visiting hours are Wednesday through Sunday from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Visits depend on room availability and security requirements, and you must arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled time for processing. Confirm the visiting hours with the facility before you travel. Every adult visitor needs valid, verifiable government-issued identification. Minors must stay with an adult guardian who is at least 18. The usual limit is two adults and two children visiting at one time, although the facility applies this limit flexibly and may make exceptions. Before admission, you may undergo a pat-down, inspection of your belongings and a metal scan. Refusing a reasonable search means you will not be admitted. Weapons are prohibited, no items may be carried into the visitation area, and electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers and radios are not allowed in secure areas. Family and other social visits are non-contact and ordinarily last one hour. The Assistant Warden may allow more time for family members traveling significant distances, depending on the number of visitors and staff availability.
