Before Your First Visit to Lee County Jail: What to Bring and What to Leave Behind

You'll need a current, government-issued photo ID. Lee County Jail accepts a driver's license with photo, a state-issued photo ID card, a military ID, or a passport. No ID, no visit. (Evidence: 3383ee19b00b7399)

Carry as little as possible. The jail's guidance is simple: lock everything in your car except your ID and keys before entering. (Evidence: b2a4589eea36a7f8)

• ✓ Purses - leave them locked in your vehicle (only your ID and keys should be brought in). (Evidence: b2a4589eea36a7f8)

Expect screening when you arrive. Lee County Jail states that all visitors can be searched - either at check-in or during the visit itself. Build in extra time and keep your pockets empty. (Evidence: 385bbe96bec69433)

Don't visit if you've been drinking or using drugs. The jail turns away anyone showing signs of impairment, and a deputy will be contacted. If there's any chance staff might see you as impaired, reschedule. (Evidence: 385bbe96bec69433)

Your clothing and behavior matter. The administration can deny entry to anyone they consider improperly dressed, and staff expect proper conduct from visitors and inmates alike. Act out, and your visit ends immediately. (Evidence: 30f246ff2a6e8dbf; 385bbe96bec69433)
