How Many People Can Visit at Once at Lee County Jail?
Lee County Jail has strict limits on visitor numbers, visit frequency, and who can come. Here's what you need to know so you don't get turned away at the door.
Before anyone can visit, the inmate has to submit a visitation list - this happens before they're moved into general population. They can designate up to five people, including minors. The bottom line: if you're not on that list, you won't get in. Confirm you're listed before making the trip.
- ✓ Current driver’s license with photo
- ✓ State-issued photo ID card
- ✓ Military ID
- ✓ Passport
- ✓ No acceptable photo ID = no entry to visitation
If you’re bringing kids, plan around the age rule. No one under 17 years old is allowed in the facility unless they’re accompanied by a guardian.
Only three people from the approved list can visit at one time. That limit includes infants and children - so two adults and one child already fills the spot. If more family members want to see your loved one, you'll need to take turns.
Note: Infants and children count toward the three-person limit. Also, anyone under 17 must be with a guardian to enter the facility.
Each visit lasts 20 minutes, and inmates can only receive two visits per week. That's the total - regardless of how many people are on the approved list. If several relatives want time, coordinate ahead so those two weekly slots go to whoever needs them most.
- Confirm you’re on the visitation list - Only people the inmate has listed can visit, so verify you’re one of the up to five designated visitors before you travel.
- Pick your three for each visit - Only three people can visit at a time, and that includes infants and children.
- Plan around the weekly cap - Because inmates are limited to two 20-minute visits per week, decide which two visits matter most that week.
- Rotate family members across visits - If more than three people want to see the inmate, swap who attends from one visit to the next while staying within the two-visits-per-week limit.
- ✓ Bring an acceptable photo ID (current driver’s license with photo, state photo ID, military ID, or passport)
- ✓ Don’t expect an exception if you forget ID - visitors aren’t allowed without it
- ✓ Leave purses and coats out of the visitation area
Tip: Three visitors per session, two visits per week - that's it. Talk as a family beforehand. Prioritize urgent visits and rotate who attends so no one shows up expecting to get in.
