Visitation at Lancaster County Correctional, NE

How to visit, scheduling, dress code, and visitor requirements

Overview

A little prep goes a long way at Lancaster County Correctional. Bring valid photo ID to every visit—state IDs, federal IDs, driver licenses, and school IDs are all accepted. Children without photo ID can use a birth certificate instead. Arrive 10–30 minutes before your scheduled time. Less than 10 minutes early? You won't be admitted. Security screening includes a pat-search and metal detector. Refuse either, and your visit ends before it starts. Leave personal items in the front lobby lockers—nothing goes into the contact visit room except a limited set of baby items for infants. Minors under 18 must come with their legal guardian unless they have documentation of adult status (like emancipation or marriage papers). Disruptive behavior or attempting to bring in contraband can get you removed—or prosecuted.
