Kenosha Pretrial Facility's Holiday Visitation Schedule: When You Can't Visit

Planning a visit to the Kenosha Pretrial Facility? Here are the specific holidays when on-site visitation is closed.

  • ✓ New Year’s Day
  • ✓ Martin Luther King Jr. Day
  • ✓ Good Friday
  • ✓ Memorial Day
  • ✓ Juneteenth
  • ✓ Independence Day (Fourth of July)
  • ✓ Labor Day
  • ✓ Thanksgiving Day
  • ✓ Friday after Thanksgiving
  • ✓ Christmas Eve
  • ✓ New Year’s Eve

Note: Holiday schedules can shift. If you’re traveling on or near a holiday, confirm the current visitation schedule with the facility or the county before you go.

A holiday closure doesn't mean you lose touch. When in-person visits aren't happening, phone or video calls are your best bet - just make sure the calling account is funded ahead of time (through an AdvancePay-style option if that's what the facility uses). Use the downtime to get ahead on other things: send mail, add commissary funds, or top off the communication account. If you're already juggling travel and family plans, knocking these out early saves a lot of stress later.

  1. Check whether calling is funded and ready - If your loved one’s calls rely on an account balance (for example, an AdvancePay-funded setup), make sure it has enough funds before the holiday.
  2. Confirm any scheduling or provider rules - Some systems require you to schedule ahead or follow specific steps to place or accept calls; double-check the current process before the closure day.
  3. Add funds ahead of time if needed - If you’re short on time, handle deposits before the holiday so you’re not stuck waiting for processing when offices are closed.

Mail works well when you can't visit in person. Want your letter to arrive close to the holiday? Send it early - mailrooms and postal service slow down around holiday weeks. This is also a good time to handle deposits from home. Depending on how accounts are set up, you might add money for Pin Debit-style calling, fund an AdvancePay-style account, or deposit to commissary. Not sure which applies? Check the facility's official instructions for the right steps.

Holiday Preparation Checklist

  • ✓ Add funds ahead of time (for example, to Pin Debit or an AdvancePay-style calling option) so calls aren’t interrupted during the holiday.
  • ✓ Send mail early so it isn’t delayed by holiday-week slowdowns.
  • ✓ Confirm your visit for a non-holiday day before you make travel plans.

Tip: If something is time-sensitive - like adding funds or getting a letter out - try to do it at least one business day before the holiday so you’re not scrambling during closures.
