Before Your First Visit to Lawrence County Jail: What Will Get You Turned Away

Dress matters at Lawrence County Jail - get it wrong, and you won't get in. Your clothing must cover you from neck to kneecaps. Anything shorter or more revealing can get you denied entry or have your visit cut short.

Any illegal or illicit conduct during a visit ends it immediately. This includes disrobing or sexual behavior. Staff will terminate the visit on the spot, and you'll be blocked from visiting any inmate at Lawrence County Detention Center in the future. Criminal charges are also possible.

Disorderly conduct ends the visit. That means anything disruptive - raising your voice, arguing, or ignoring staff instructions. Stay calm, follow directions the first time, and you'll protect your time with your loved one.

Don't show up under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Lawrence County Jail will deny your visit and make you leave.

Bringing kids? You're responsible for supervising them the entire time. Unattended children will get your visit terminated, so make sure you have a plan before you arrive.
