What to Bring and Expect for a Visit at Lubbock County Detention Center
Visiting someone at Lubbock County Detention Center goes smoothly when you bring the right ID and leave everything else behind. Use this checklist so you don't get turned away at the door.
On-site visitation runs from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm. Plan your arrival so your visit can begin on time, because the last visit must start no later than 9:30 pm.
Each inmate is allowed one adult visitor per visit. Up to two children can accompany that adult, as long as they're supervised. One more thing: visitors can only see an inmate once per day.

Bringing personal items? You'll need to lock them up before entering the visitation room. Lockers are provided, but they require a quarter to operate. You get the quarter back when you return the key.
On-site visits are limited to one per person, per inmate, per day. Remote video visits work differently: for inmates in general population housing, they're unlimited. You'll need to schedule them in advance through SmartInmate, and there's a fee.
Special Housing Unit (SHU) visits are scheduled by jail staff based on the current visitation schedule. To arrange a SHU visit, call 806-775-7019.
