Visiting at Maury County Jail isn't just about showing up on the right day. As part of the visitation application process, applicants are screened for criminal history. That screening determines whether you'll be approved, so check your own situation before making the trip.

Two categories are clearly barred from visitation. Convicted felons are not allowed to visit inmates at Maury County Jail. The jail also blocks anyone currently facing felony charges, even if the case hasn't been resolved yet.

There's also a waiting period tied to recent incarceration at the same facility. If you were incarcerated at Maury County Jail within the last 90 days, you won't be allowed to visit.

Other Denials and Searches

  • You can be denied entry if you refuse to register.
  • You can be denied entry if you refuse to submit to a search.
  • You can be denied entry if you violate established visitation rules.

Note: If staff have probable cause to search a visitor, they must submit documentation explaining why the search happened and what the results were.

  1. Check your eligibility first - If you have a felony conviction, a pending felony charge, or you were incarcerated at Maury County Jail within the last 90 days, you should expect to be turned away.
  2. Bring identification for check-in - Visitors must present identification when they check in.
  3. Sign in when you arrive, then sign out when you leave - You’re required to sign in at arrival and sign out after the visit.

Tip: Visitors log in from the kiosks in the North Side Visitation Room. If you're worried about being denied, call the jail before you go so you don't travel for nothing.
