Johnson County Adult Detention Center

Visiting at Johnson County Adult Detention Center takes a little prep, but it goes smoothly if you know the rules. Bring a valid, non-expired government-issued photo ID and arrive about 15 minutes early for check-in. You'll go through a metal detector and store personal property in facility lockers. Food, drinks, and smoking are not allowed in the visitation area. The dress code is enforced closely: no clothing that looks like staff uniforms, no transparent or provocative outfits, and shorts or skirts must extend past mid-thigh when seated. Footwear is required. Visits can be denied, suspended, or ended for intoxication, refusing screening or search, disruptive behavior, falsified ID, property damage, or dress code violations. Never give materials to an inmate unless a Shift Sergeant has authorized it in writing before the visit.

Staying in touch with someone at Johnson County Adult Detention Center can include in-person visits, video visits, phone calls, and electronic messages through tablet vendors. Commissary and inmate banking are handled through Summit. An inmate account is created at booking, and funds can be used for commissary, phone time, medical services, or programs. For mail-specific problems or to appeal a mailroom decision, contact the detention mailroom at 913-715-5900 or email DetentionMailroomAppeals@jocogov.org. Phone and tablet services run through third-party vendors, so you'll need to register an account and add funds before you can receive calls or send messages. Vendor rules and fees vary, so check the facility page or vendor portal for exact steps and restrictions.
