Your Visitation Rights and Rules at Imperial County Jail (Who Counts, Dress Code, and Visit Frequency)
Visiting someone at Imperial County Jail gets a lot easier once you know the rules that trip people up. Here's what to plan around: how often you can visit, who counts toward the visitor limit (kids included), what ID you need, and what not to wear.
Inmates at Imperial County Jail can receive at least two visits per week, totaling one hour of visitation time. There's also a daily cap - only one visit per inmate per day. So if multiple people want to come, you'll need to coordinate who visits when.
Each visit allows a maximum of two visitors per inmate. This matters when you're trying to bring family together - if your group is larger than two (not counting certain babies, explained below), you'll have to decide who goes in.
- ✓ A child who is able to walk counts as one of the two allowed visitors.
- ✓ Babies carried in arms do not count as visitors, but there can’t be more than two babies-in-arms per inmate.
You'll need a valid, non-expired photo ID to sign up for a visit. It must show your name, date of birth, and photograph. Staff will verify the information matches and check the expiration date.
- ✓ Your identification
- ✓ Your wallet
- ✓ Your car/home keys
Dress Code Checklist
- ✓ Low-cut shirts
- ✓ Short shorts
- ✓ Tank tops
- ✓ See-through clothing
- ✓ Dresses or skirts shorter than mid-thigh

- Keep your group within the limit - Only two visitors are allowed per inmate for a visit.
