Which Pod Is Your Loved One In? Tupelo Jail's Visitation Schedule Explained

Each pod has its own assigned visitation day. Monday is for Pods A & B. Tuesday covers Pods C & D. Wednesday is for Pods E & F plus Male Holding. Thursday is reserved for Pod G and Female Holding.

On your pod's assigned day, visits happen during two windows: 1:00 PM–4:00 PM and 7:00 PM–8:00 PM. When you call to schedule, you'll pick a slot within one of those blocks.

Visits here are non-contact. You'll sit on opposite sides of a glass partition and talk by phone. Each inmate gets one 15-minute visit by appointment. That goes fast - come prepared so you can make the most of your time together.

  • Make sure you’re on the inmate’s approved visitation list before you try to visit.
  • Bring proper photo ID.
  • Sign in at least 15 minutes before your scheduled visitation time - if you don’t sign in with proper ID at least 15 minutes early, you won’t be allowed to visit.

Saturdays break from the regular pod rotation. Only Trustees have visitation on Saturdays, from 8:00 AM–12:00 noon.

Sundays are reserved for the Lee County Work Center. To schedule a Sunday visit there, call 662-680-6064.

  1. Call to confirm the pod and the correct day - Schedule by phone at (662) 432-2600, Monday–Friday, between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
  2. Book at least a day ahead - Appointments must be made at least 24 hours in advance, so don’t wait until the morning you want to visit.

Reminder: When you call, confirm you’re on the inmate’s visitation list. Plan to bring proper photo ID and sign in at least 15 minutes before your scheduled time.

Inmates under disciplinary action for visitation rule violations can't receive visits until their privileges are restored. If everything seems right - correct pod, correct day - but you're told visits aren't available, ask about the inmate's current visitation eligibility when you call.
