How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting at Jackson County Jail takes some planning, but the process is straightforward. The jail posts the visitation schedule in the lobby, and after your first visit, lobby personnel handle scheduling for future visits. Each inmate can have up to two adult visitors at a time, with visits limited to three 25-minute sessions per seven-day calendar week unless additional visits are approved. If you're 16 or older, bring acceptable photo ID—a state ID, military ID, passport, or other Watch Commander-approved ID works. Reception staff check you in, log the visit, notify Tower Control, and direct you to the visitation area. Leave your cell phone and personal items behind. You may be searched, and refusing means no visit. Children must be accompanied by an adult—staff won't supervise them.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.
