Can Minors Visit Someone at Kenosha Pretrial? Age and ID Rules Explained

The default rule at Kenosha Pretrial is straightforward: visitors must be at least 18 years old. There's one exception - if the visitor is the inmate's spouse, someone under 18 may be allowed with proof of marriage.

If you’re an adult visitor, plan on showing a valid photo ID at check-in. Staff use that ID to confirm you’re approved to visit and that you meet the facility’s requirements for entry.

If you're a spouse under 18, documentation is everything. Bring valid ID plus proof that you're legally married to the inmate. Without both, your visit will be treated like any other under-18 request - and likely denied.

For children, supervision is the key requirement. A minor who is the inmate's child can visit only when accompanied by their other parent or legal guardian. Another relative or family friend won't work unless they have legal guardianship.

Bringing a minor to an on-site video visit? There's a headcount limit: one adult and one minor per scheduled session.

Minors can't attend alone - a parent or legal guardian must be with them. And even if you have multiple children who want to visit, the one-adult-one-minor cap still applies. You'll need to schedule separate visits.
