How to Visit Facility
Visiting someone at the Kleberg County Detention Center goes smoother when you plan around intake timing and confirm the person is still in custody before you travel.
After booking, people typically spend about 12 hours in holding cells. That window can stretch to 24 hours depending on what time they entered the jail. If you're trying to time a visit, knowing when they were admitted helps you estimate when they'll move out of holding and what their day will look like.
Before you drive over, check the online inmate roster. Look for the "48 Hour Release" option, which shows people released from the Kleberg County Detention Center within the last 48 hours. This can save you a wasted trip if someone has already been let out.
Tip: The roster doesn't include visiting hours or detailed visitor rules. Use it (including the "48 Hour Release" view) to confirm custody status, then call the facility directly to verify the current visiting schedule and requirements before you go.
Steps to Follow
- ✓ Check the online roster and open the “48 Hour Release” view to confirm whether the person has been released within the last 48 hours.
- ✓ If the person is not listed as a recent release, double-check the current roster view before you travel.
- ✓ Plan around holding time. Expect about 12 hours in holding on average, and be prepared for up to 24 hours depending on when they entered the jail.
- ✓ If your timing is tight (work, childcare, long drive), build in extra cushion so you are not relying on the shortest timeline.
- Open the Kleberg County Detention Center online roster - look for the “48 Hour Release” option to view people released within the last 48 hours.
- Search and confirm identity details - make sure you are looking at the right person (names can be similar).
- Write down what you see - if you need to follow up, having the exact name and the release window you checked helps you ask clearer questions.
- Confirm the intake time - the time someone entered the jail affects how the holding window applies.
- Ask how long holding is expected in this situation - holding is about 12 hours on average, but can be up to 24 hours depending on entry time.
- Use that answer to plan your trip - if they are still in holding, it may affect when a visit is possible and whether it is worth traveling that day.
Reminder: Call the facility to confirm current visiting hours, whether visits require scheduling, what ID you need, the dress code, and what personal items (if any) are allowed in the visiting area.
