How to Visit Jackson County Detention Center (MS)
Visiting at Jackson County Detention Center takes a little planning. On-site visits are video-only, and you'll need to schedule them the facility's way. Here's how to set it up and avoid common problems.
Every on-site visit at Jackson County Adult Detention Center is done by video. No face-to-face. Timing matters, too: on-site visits aren't available on Sundays, and they don't start until 12:30 p.m. on Mondays. Plan your trip around those limits.
Each inmate is allowed one on-site visit per week, capped at 20 minutes. Your group can include a maximum of three visitors total (any combination of adults and children).
Important: All visits are monitored. If there’s any rule violation, the visit can be disconnected immediately, and lost visitation time is not refunded.
On-site visitation is free. But plan ahead: you cannot bring cell phones, recording devices, purses, bags, food, or drinks into the facility. There's no secure storage for visitors, so leave all prohibited items locked in your car before you walk in.
