What You Can Bring Into Imperial County Jail During Visits (ID, wallet, keys, and that's it)

Imperial County Jail has a strict policy on what visitors can bring inside. You're limited to three things: your ID, your wallet, and car or home keys. Everything else stays out.

Purses, bags, and other personal belongings aren't allowed inside during visits. Leave anything that's not on the approved list secured in your car or at home. You're responsible for keeping track of your own stuff.

Your ID isn't just one of the few items you can bring in. It's also required to sign up for a visit. Imperial County Jail requires a current, valid photo ID that shows your name and date of birth. Expired? Missing that info? You'll be turned away at check-in, even if everything else is in order.

• ✓ Bring a current (not expired) photo ID
• ✓ Make sure the ID shows your name
• ✓ Make sure the ID shows your date of birth

1. Walk in with only the allowed items: your identification, wallet, and car or home keys.
2. Keep your ID easy to reach: you must show a current, valid photo ID with your name and date of birth to sign up for the visit.
3. Secure everything else before entering: purses, bags, and other items are not allowed inside and you are responsible for storing them, the Sheriff’s Department is not liable for unattended items.
