Leon County Jail, TX

Leon County Jail reopened in-person visitation on Monday, February 26, 2024. Daytime visits run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with the last visit starting at 4:00 p.m. Evening hours are 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., last start at 7:00 p.m. Each visit lasts 30 minutes, and you can only visit one person per day—no splitting time between inmates. You must be at least 16 years old and bring valid ID. Attorneys get 60-minute visits and can book multiple time slots if needed. All visits—in-person and video—are monitored and recorded. Remote video visits are scheduled through securustech.net.

Leon County Jail uses Securus for communication services, including video visitation. A 30-minute video visit costs between $5 and $95, depending on the type. To fund phone calls, add money through the Securus vendor site listed by the facility. Want to receive calls? Securus Direct Bill lets you get billed monthly—though enrollment requires a credit check. JPay services are also available through the JPay mobile app for messaging and account management. Visit types, scheduling rules, and features vary by unit, so handle everything through the approved vendor portal.

Leon County Jail routes personal (non-privileged) mail through the Securus Digital Mail Center. Letters are scanned and delivered electronically to the inmate's tablet. Legal or privileged mail goes directly to the detention facility PO Box and follows the jail's legal-mail procedures. Magazines and newspapers are only accepted when sent straight from the publisher. Religious or spiritual materials must also come from the publisher and be approved through the Chaplains Office. The jail doesn't accept packages or books—anything else gets returned to sender. Mail with powder, perfume, glue, or glitter will be sent back, and both the inmate and sender are notified when something is rejected. Need an inmate's signature on documents? Drop them off Monday–Friday for processing and pickup.

To add money to an inmate's account at Leon County Jail, use the public kiosk in the detention facility lobby. The jail stopped accepting deposits through the visitation lobby or by mail on December 15, 2008—stick to the facility's listed deposit methods. Want to send items instead of cash?
