Macomb County Jail Visit Limits: Two Visits Per Week, Exceptions, and How to Make Them Count

Inmates at Macomb County Jail get two visits per week. Each one lasts about 30 minutes - time moves fast once you're connected. Up to three visitors can join a single visit, which works well for families. Just decide beforehand who's joining so you're not burning minutes figuring it out.

You need to register within a specific window: at least 24 hours before the visit, but no more than two weeks in advance. Register too late and you'll miss your chance for the week. Too early and it won't go through. Set a calendar reminder to stay inside that 24-hours-to-two-weeks range.

Some trustee inmates get three visits per week instead of two. The facility assigns trustee status - it's not something you can request as a visitor. But if your loved one has earned it, that extra weekly visit gives you more flexibility for staying in touch.

Trying to stay connected with more than one person inside? Macomb County Jail lets you visit up to five different inmates, but each visit happens separately. The weekly limit still applies to each inmate - two visits per week for most. You'll be juggling separate registrations and time slots, not combining visits.

Disruptive behavior can get visiting privileges suspended or terminated - for the inmate or the visitor. Treat every session like it could be your last for a while. Keep conversations calm, follow staff instructions, and don't do anything that might interfere with the visit.

Practical Tips

• ✓ Register at least 24 hours ahead, but no more than two weeks in advance, so you don’t lose a weekly visit slot.
• ✓ Plan what you need to cover before the visit starts - each visit is only about 30 minutes.
• ✓ Keep the group to three visitors or fewer per visit, and decide who’s joining ahead of time.

1. List who you’re trying to visit - You can visit up to five different inmates, but each must be visited individually.
2. Prioritize the week’s most urgent visits - Each inmate generally only gets two visits per week, so decide who needs a slot first.
3. Register in the allowed window for each person - Make sure every visit is booked at least 24 hours ahead and no more than two weeks out.
4. Spread out your time and expectations - Separate visits mean separate 30-minute windows; plan your questions and updates so you’re not rushing at the end.
