Who Can't Visit at Jackson County Jail: Probation, Parole, and Recent Inmates

If you're currently on probation or parole, you can't visit Jackson County Jail. Period. It doesn't matter if you're doing well on supervision or if the person inside has you on their visitor list - being under any form of community supervision makes you ineligible.

There's another hurdle: the incarcerated person must add you to their Active Visitor List. Each person in custody can list up to 10 people. If your name isn't on that list, you won't get in - even if you meet every other requirement.

Were you incarcerated at Jackson County Jail within the past 12 months? You're not eligible to visit. If you were booked and housed here during the last year, you'll need to wait until that 12-month window closes before attempting a visit.

1. Confirm whether you’re on probation - If you’re supervised through probation right now, you won’t be eligible to visit.
2. Confirm whether you’re on parole - If you’re currently on parole, you also won’t be eligible to visit.
3. Think back 12 months for any time housed here - If you were incarcerated at Jackson County Jail within the past year, you’ll be turned away.
4. Call ahead before you schedule or show up - If any part of your status is unclear, check with the jail first so you don’t get denied at check-in.

• ✓ Bring photo identification if you’re an adult (you’ll need it at check-in)
• ✓ Expect to be searched as part of the visiting process

Even if you're eligible and show up with proper photo ID, you'll still be turned away if you're not on the Active Visitor List. The list holds up to 10 people total, so confirm you've been added before making the trip.
