Can You Leave to Use the Restroom During a Visit? (And Other Rules That Might End Your Visit Early)
Visiting Jackson County Detention? Plan your restroom breaks carefully. Here's a rule that catches people off guard: if you leave the visitation floor to use the restroom, you won't be allowed back to finish your visit.
At Jackson County Detention, leaving the visitation floor to use the restroom ends your visit. Step out, and you won't be allowed back in. The fix is simple: use the restroom before you go through security, and make sure anyone visiting with you does the same.
Visits are only 30 minutes long. That time goes fast. A quick restroom trip could cost you most - or all - of your visit if you can't get back onto the floor. Handle it beforehand and use the full 30 minutes with your loved one.

Even after you've made it to the building, your visit isn't guaranteed. Jackson County's Department of Corrections can refuse, cancel, or end any visit without notice. You and your belongings are subject to search. Follow staff directions immediately and cooperate with screening - arguing or refusing instructions puts your visit at risk.
Heads up: If you appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you won't be allowed to visit.
