What You Can't Bring to a Visit at Jackson County ADC: A Clear Prohibited‑Items Checklist
Jackson County ADC doesn't offer secure storage for visitors. Anything that isn't allowed inside needs to stay locked in your vehicle. Show up with prohibited items and you may be turned away at the door. Do a quick pocket-and-bag check while you're still in the parking lot.

- ✓ Contraband, including ammunition, currency, explosives, intoxicants, and weapons
Note: Phones, recording devices, weapons, and contraband are taken seriously - don't risk it. Leave these secured in your vehicle before entering.
If staff believe you're intoxicated or under the influence, you won't be allowed to visit. The facility warns you may also be subject to arrest. Don't arrive after drinking or using anything that could impair you.
Visits are monitored, and rule violations can end your visit immediately - no warning. You won't get that lost time back, so follow the rules closely from the moment you check in.
- Empty your pockets before you leave home - Take out your phone and anything else you might absentmindedly carry in.
- Plan to leave everything in the vehicle - Since there’s no secure storage for visitors, assume you won’t be able to bring extra items inside.
- Lock prohibited items out of reach - Put them in your trunk or a locked compartment so you’re not tempted to carry them in.
- Do a final check in the parking lot - Before you head to the entrance, double-check pockets and any small items you’re carrying.
Reminder: There's no secure storage at Jackson County ADC. Check your pockets and hands for phones, recording devices, or small bags before you walk in.
