How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements
Visiting someone at Johnson County Jail takes a little planning, but knowing a few details ahead of time can make the day smoother. If you need to add money to an inmate's account, the jail accepts cash or credit and debit card deposits at kiosks in each jail lobby. Those kiosks are available daily from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm, and you'll need the inmate's six-digit Criminal File Number to complete the transaction. Online deposits are also available 24/7 through jailatm.com. For visitation, make sure you're approved and familiar with the scheduling rules before you go. Most Missouri facilities require a visitor application and approval, which typically involves the offender's ID and a background check. Once approved, visits are usually scheduled through the facility's system, often at least 24 hours in advance. Arrive early for check-in and screening.
Search for a loved one and send messages and photos in minutes.

Many Missouri jails require a visitor application and approval before visits are allowed. Applications typically ask for the offender's ID and may include a background check. Wait for final approval before trying to schedule.
You can deposit cash or use a credit or debit card at kiosks in either jail lobby. The kiosks run daily from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm and require the inmate's six-digit Criminal File Number. You can also deposit 24/7 at jailatm.com.
Once you receive visitor approval, schedule the visit through the facility's scheduling system (online, kiosk, or phone). Many facilities require at least 24 hours' notice, so plan ahead. Arrive early and bring photo ID for check-in.
Before you send anything through the U.S. Postal Service, here's how this facility handles regular (non-privileged) mail. Non-privileged general mail is processed off-site, then delivered to the inmate electronically on password-protected kiosks or tablets. Your letter or card won't be handed over as a physical piece of mail. Instead, it shows up as a digital delivery on their device.
When someone is booked into the Johnson County Adult Detention Center, the facility creates an inmate account for them. Johnson County partners with Summit for commissary and banking services—this is where deposits go and how your loved one accesses funds while in custody.
Sending money is usually straightforward once you have the right identifier for your loved one. Here are the deposit options and exact steps to get it done.
